    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for purifying graphitic material, in particular to achieve a high purity of >99.9% carbon (C). The process comprises a) heating a mixture of graphite and a eutectic mixture comprising two or more alkali metal hydroxides to produce a fused mass comprising the graphite and the eutectic mixture; b) leaching the fused mass with water or an aqueous solution to dissolve water-soluble impurities therein; and c) leaching the water-leached fused mass with an acidic solution to dissolve acid-soluble impurities therein, thereby producing high purity graphite.
