X-Ray Diffraction Study Of Heat-Treated Graphitized And Ungraphitized Carbon, Rizwan Hussain, Riaz Qadeer, Mahmood Ahmad, M. Saleem Jan 2000

X-Ray Diffraction Study Of Heat-Treated Graphitized And Ungraphitized Carbon, Rizwan Hussain, Riaz Qadeer, Mahmood Ahmad, M. Saleem

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Heat treatment of graphitized and ungraphitized carbon samples was carried out in air and argon atmosphere from ambient temperature to 700$^{\circ}$C. The changes in degree of amorphousness, mean crystallite size and interlayer separations were studied employing x-ray diffraction. The results revealed an increase in crystallinity when graphitized carbon was heated to 100 ^oC and above. This enhanced degree of arrangement is indicative of the removal of residual impurities entrapped during the production processes. In ungraphitized carbon, the transition from amorphous to crystalline character was not observed upon heat treatment.
