Rare Metals

We are producing many type of earth minerals and metals in Russian Federation and exporting to over the globe. 

Graphite

Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon with a layered structure, known for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, lubricating

properties, and resistance to heat and chemicals. It is used in a wide range of industries, including metallurgy, electronics, and energy

storage.

Types of Graphite

1. Natural Graphite

  • Found in mineral form and extracted through mining

  • Further classified into flake graphite, vein (lump) graphite, and amorphous graphite

  • Used in lubricants, refractories, batteries, and fuel cells

2. Synthetic Graphite

  • Produced from carbon-rich materials like petroleum coke and coal tar pitch.

  • High purity and consistent properties make it ideal for electrical applications, electrodes, and high-performance batteries

 

Nickel

Nickel (Ni) is a silver-white, corrosion-resistant metal with excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. It is widely used in alloys, batteries, plating, and high-performance industrial applications.

Types & Grades of Nickel

1. Pure Nickel (Nickel 200, 201)

  • High corrosion resistance, especially in alkaline environments

  • Used in chemical processing, electronics, and aerospace

2. Nickel Alloys

  • Nickel-Copper (Monel 400, K500): Excellent seawater corrosion resistance, used in marine applications

  • Nickel-Chromium (Inconel 600, 625, 718): High heat and oxidation resistance, used in aerospace and power plants

  • Nickel-Iron (Invar, Permalloy): Low thermal expansion and high magnetic permeability

3. Nickel-Plated Steel & Other Forms

  • Used in batteries, electronics, and automotive applications for improved corrosion resistance

 

Lithium

Lithium (Li) is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal known for its lightweight, high electrochemical potential, and excellent conductivity. It is

widely used in batteries, pharmaceuticals, alloys, ceramics, and nuclear applications.

Types & Grades of Lithium

1. Battery-Grade Lithium

  • Used in lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium-metal batteries

  • Forms: Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH)

2. Industrial-Grade Lithium

  • Used in lubricants, glass & ceramics, and aluminum production

  • Forms: Lithium chloride (LiCl), lithium fluoride (LiF)

3. Pharmaceutical-Grade Lithium

  • Used in psychiatric medications (e.g., lithium carbonate for bipolar disorder)

4. Nuclear-Grade Lithium

  • Used in nuclear reactors and fusion energy (e.g., lithium-6 for tritium production)

 

Cobalt

Cobalt (Co) is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and magnetic properties. It is widely

used in batteries, superalloys, magnets, and industrial catalysts.

Types & Grades of Cobalt

1. Pure Cobalt (99.8%+ Co) 

  • Used in high-strength alloys and medical implants

2. Cobalt Alloys

  • Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr): Used in orthopedic implants, turbine blades, and aerospace

  • Cobalt-Nickel: High-temperature applications, jet engines, and corrosion-resistant coatings

  • Cobalt-Steel (High-Speed Steel): Cutting tools and industrial machinery

3. Battery-Grade Cobalt

  • Used in lithium-ion batteries (as cobalt oxide or cobalt sulfate)

4. Cobalt Compounds

  • Cobalt Oxide (Co3O4): Used in ceramics and rechargeable batteries

  • Cobalt Sulfate (CoSO4): Used in battery production

  • Cobalt Chloride (CoCl2): Used in chemical processes and humidity indicators

 

Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), with varying amounts of impurities such as clay,

sand, and organic matter. It is widely used in construction, cement manufacturing, agriculture, and industrial applications.

Types of Limestone

1. Pure Limestone (High-Calcium Limestone)

  • Contains more than 95% CaCO3

  • Used in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food-grade applications

2. Dolomitic Limestone

  • Contains both calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO3)

  • More durable than pure limestone, used in construction and agriculture

3. Chalk

  • A soft, porous form of limestone, often used in cement and industrial applications

4. Fossiliferous Limestone

  • Contains visible fossils and is commonly used as a decorative stone

5. Oolitic Limestone

  • Contains small, rounded grains (ooliths), used in cement and building materials
