Well Boxy there is no cubic ton LOL, cubic is volume tonnage is mass equivalent to weight in this case.

We know Albany graphite has a density of 2.25g/cubic centimeter.

There are 12 grams of carbon per mole of carbon atoms (hence the atomic #12)

1 mole of carbon atoms = 6.023E23 atom (a very big number)

so 1 cc of graphite = 2.25/12 x 6.023E23 = about 1.13E23 or about

113,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms

Now if we assume that those atom are distibuted evenly in the cubic centimeter

We then need to take the cube root of 1.13E23 = app. 48,345,881

So therefore 48.3 million 1 atom thick sheets of graphene can be stacked in 1 cm

So since 2.25 tons would have 4.83E7 sheets per cm x 100 for a meter

Therefore 1 meter would have 4.83E9 sheets of graphene

Now back to the density 1 cubic meter of Albany graphite = 2.25 tons

So 1 ton of Albany graphite could produce 1/2.25 x 4.83E9 = app. 2.15 billion, meter square, 1 atom thick sheets of graphene

Of course this is all theortical and actual yields and amounts would likely vary LOL

TP

TP you spent way too much time in math class... I do appreciate the theoretical attempt you made. Now you just need to find the price of one graphene sheet for us, then you could do the calculations on how much money we can make off graphene sheets per ton and request it be added to the PEA :-)
