Oxidation Method | Material | Ratio C/O | [Ref.] |
---|---|---|---|
Brodie | natural graphite (Ceylon) | 3.5 | [3] |
Staudenmaier | natural graphite | 2.9 | [4] |
Hofmann | natural graphite | 3.3 | [5] |
Hummers (various) | natural graphite with variable grain sizes smaller than 60 and at 60–90 µm | (16.0–2.0) | [6] |
Hummers–Offemann | natural graphite | 3.0 | [7,8] |
