Is graphite renewable?
NOAnswer:Although much graphite is natural and mined, there are processes for the manufacture of graphite from carbon containing compounds. This involves the treatment of prepared carbon samples at extremely high temperature 4530-5430°F (2500-3000°C).As it can be created from non-graphite carbon, it is renewable.
Where is slate mined?
it is mined in Spain
What is the luster of a graphite?
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
What is slippery carbon?
Graphite Powder or graphite is the slippery type of Carbon! :) hope I helped! :P
What mineral is used in pencils?
Graphite.
Where can you get graphite?
You can obtain graphite from an ordinary pencil lead, is made from graphite (not lead).Graphite is a natural occurring mineral and it is mined just like any other industrial mineral.
What are three things that are mined in New York State?
zink copper and graphite
Is graphite found in the US?
Yes, there are some very large reserves of graphite in the US. However, graphite is no longer mined in the US because graphite can be synthetically produced using petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is much more pure and economic form of graphite.
What is in the middle of a pencil?
The black stuff in the middle of the pencil is a mixture of graphite (an element that is mined) and clay.

How is graphite purified?
Graphite is mined in an open pit or underground. In an open pit graphite is extracted using bulldozers, and front end loaders to break up and left the product. It is extracted through drilling when it is done underground.
How is carbon produced?
Carbon is not produced but mined because it occurs naturally. Carbon occurs naturally in three forms namely diamond, graphite and amorphous.
Where is lead mined?
Currently lead is usually found in ore with zinc, silver and copper and it is extracted together with these metals. The main lead mineral in Galena (PbS) and there are also deposits of cerrussite and anglesite which are mined. Galena is mined in Australia, which produces 19% of the world's new lead, followed by the USA, China, Peru' and Canada. Some is also mined in Mexico and West Germany.
What is a form of carbon that makes a good lubricant?
Graphite (I think)
What is the difference between carbon graphite and graphite?
because carbon graphite had carbon but graphite does not have carbon
Where is slate mined?
it is mined in Spain
What is the environmental impact of mining graphite?
Possible environmental impacts include air pollution (fine particulate exposure), and some soil contamination from spilled powder, resulting in heavy metal contamination. Graphite is often mined using open pit mines, which need the vegetation removed from the site and the soil mined needs to be put somewhere else. The trees which took CO2 from the atmosphere and provided a habitat for animals have been destroyed which reduces air quality and destroys the animals' habitats which results in death and in extreme cases extinction. The milling process of graphite uses harmful chemicals and is very wasteful. Seepage from tailings dams are also a risk.
