Abstract
Graphite oxidation in a cold liquid medium was studied by means of the oxidizing properties of graphite oxidation products. These solid products were obtained with Staudenmaier reagent at 0°C over various periods of time. They were dehydrated over phosphorous pentoxide and their oxidizing capacities against KI-H 2SO 4 solutions were measured. A combustion model involving an unreactive nucleus has been applied to explain these measurements which may be useful to point out textural differences among graphites.
