What is known as inorganic graphite?

Answer 1

Boron Nitride (BN) is known as Inorganic graphite. The most stable crystalline form is the hexagonal one, also called h-BN, α-BN, or g-BN (graphitic BN). It has a layered structure similar to graphite. Its hexagonal form is the most stable and softest among BN polymorphs, and is therefore used as a lubricant and an additive to cosmetic products. h-BN lubricant is particularly useful when the electrical conductivity or chemical reactivity of graphite (alternative lubricant) would be problematic. Another advantage of h-BN over graphite is that its lubricity does not require water or gas molecules trapped between the layers. Therefore, h-BN lubricants can be used even in vacuum, e.g. in space applications.

Answer 2

Inorganic graphite is known as synthetic graphite, which is produced by high-temperature processing of carbon-containing materials such as petroleum coke or coal tar pitch. It is different from natural graphite, which is mined from deposits in the earth. Synthetic graphite is often used in various industrial applications due to its high purity and consistent quality.
