natural graphite beats synthetic

natural graphite is better than synthetic

highlight:
Natural graphite is also the basis of graphene, the uses of which seem limited only by scientists’ imaginations, given the host of new applications announced daily. Synthetic graphite is very limited when it comes to graphene. Indeed, the new wonder material has been considered so important as to have prompted the EU to contribute a billion Euros to private and public entities to fund graphene research, can only be made using natural graphite. The problem is to bring these technological developments on an industrial scale, but there’s no denying the future is in natural graphite. Natural graphite is much cheaper and environmentally responsible than synthetic.  Synthetic graphite is derived from high temperature processes involving calcined petroleum coke and coal tar pitch. Synthetic graphite will continue to dominate for the next few years in current applications requiring high purity, while available natural graphite production will be preferred for the manufacturing of refractories for the steel industry and lubricants, such as those used in the aerospace sector to facilitate movement of actuators and flaps.

VRC's focus would be extracting graphite for the use of graphene, as they have posted many articles regarding the potential of graphene  on their facebook page.
