Jiggy - Cinema Show posted Message 31703042 So 99.3% is ZEN's process purity expectation and this is now called just marginally lower than than 99.9% original target. Given current graphene focus this may be a reasonable assertion. Either way good to be moving the programme forward full throttle. Is it possible that Cinema Show is unaware of the fact that ZEN has yet to determine what the cost will be and what percentage purity they can achieve at sustained full production rates? Is it possible that he doesn't know that 99.3% is what ZEN has termed "high quality" and that it will not qualify for any end users or final products that require "High Purity" or Ultra High Purity"? Does he know that ZEN has gone from "ZEN here is very fortunate that we have nuclear grade and isotropy right out of the ground! choo choo" to having ABSOLUTELY ZERO CHANCE to qualify for nuclear? Is it possible that he doesn't know that the cost of converting graphite to graphene is inversely proportional to the purity of the feed stock? Is it possible that he doesn't know that the purity and thickness of produced graphene sheets is totally dependent on the purity of the feed stock? Does he know how the presence of IRON in ZEN's graphite will effect the quality/price/efficiency of any graphene produced from it? Is he aware that even if 99.3% is achievable, it will eliminate any possibility of replacing high end synthetic? Is he aware that if ZEN has to compete with the flakers, they are dead in the water because of their Capex? Is he aware that if ZEN has to compete with other methods of graphene production (ie - natural gas), they are dead in the water because of their Capex? Is he aware that the only thing that today's NR from ZEN accomplishes is to buy more TIME. The same thing that AE has been doing since 2014.
