Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX: SGA) managing director Sean Gregorysits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss how itshigh-purity graphite, previously verified at above 99.999% carbonpurity, has achieved an impressive Equivalent Boron Content (EBC)assay of 1.1 ppm. This result is well below the 2 ppm maximum requiredfor nuclear-grade graphite, confirming its suitability forhigh-specification applications such as nuclear reactors. Thisbenchmark was achieved through independent assays performed in theUSA, highlighting the graphite's compliance with stringentinternational standards. Gregory says that this achievement adds asuper-premium aspect to their product range, enhancing its appeal invarious markets, including lithium-ion batteries and advancedindustrial applications. He also notes that the pre-feasibility studyis progressing as planned, with publication expected in the thirdquarter of the year. Graphite's essential role in nuclear reactorsas a moderator, which helps maintain a continuous chain reaction, isunderscored by the necessity for high purity to avoid neutronabsorption by impurities like boron. The global demand for nucleargraphite, driven by renewed investment in nuclear power, underscoresthe strategic importance of Sarytogan's developments in this area.In addition to nuclear uses, Sarytogan is expanding its product lineto include three main types - microcrystalline graphite fortraditional uses, Uncoated Spherical Purified Graphite (USPG) forlithium-ion batteries and Ultra High Purity Fines (UHPF) for advancedindustrial applications.
