Applied mixing technologies in the carbon- and graphite-production

An overview of several of those technologies as applied to production, particularly of carbon and graphite, is presented. A suitable mixing technique and appropriate mixing system is chosen for each application, depending on the properties, amounts, and quantity of raw materials. Anode production is the largest carbon manufacturing application requiring mixing technology. The solid-liquid mixing is used very often in the carbon and graphite production while flow bed mixers are used for very fine grains. The ideal mixer depends on the particular application in which it is used while special mixers may be required for special cases.
