Explosion proofing for Graphite Powder Feeding System in FUCHS Lubricant Oil

FUCHS is a global Group with German roots that has developed, produced and sold lubricants and related specialties for more than 85 years – for virtually all areas of application and sectors. With about 60 companies and almost 5,000 employees worldwide, the FUCHS Group is the leading independent supplier of lubricants.

China is the largest and fastest growing marketing, FUCHS Oil (China) need a Dust Free Solutions for daily materials handling.

There are Three characteristics:

1.  Electrical conductivity

The conductivity of graphite is 100 times higher than non-metallic ore.Thermal conductivity exceeds steel, iron, lead and other metal materials.The thermal conductivity decreases with temperature, and even at extremely high temperatures, the graphite is adiabatic.Graphite can conduct electricity because each carbon atom in graphite forms only three covalent bonds with other carbon atoms, and each carbon atom retains one free electron to transmit the charge.

2.  Harmful for human.

In terms of toxicological properties, the sharp edges of graphite oxide may cut into the cells and be absorbed by them, thus producing unpredictable effects.In fact, there is an academic argument that graphite can kill bacteria, and one of the important things is that graphite can damage cell membranes.In addition, graphite oxide if inhaled lung will produce bigger harm to the lungs, it similar to the vast majority of carbon materials, metabolism of carbon is not easy to decompose, easy accumulation.So when using lighter oxidized graphite powder or three-dimensional graphite foam, be sure to protect yourself and wear a mask and gloves.

3.  Explosive

Graphite oxide powders and explosive characteristics itself, this is due to the thermal decomposition reaction of graphite oxide is a process from exothermic, once the initiation reaction will be to pass down as the chain reaction resulting in explosion.Generally, graphite oxide dry conditions in high temperature treatment (higher than 100 ℃ requires vigilance) or grinding under impact are likely to cause the explosion of the graphite oxide.The process produces a large amount of gas and produces a easily dispersed black reduction of graphite powder (as shown in video below).These powders can be harmful to the body’s glasses and respiratory.
