To the powder, add a dispersion medium such as water or organic solvent, a dispersant such as a surfactant and a binder,
BACKGROUND ART Mixing or kneading to obtain a low-viscosity sludge or kneaded clay is performed by a cast molding, a press molding, an extrusion molding, etc.

The particle surface of natural graphite powder or artificial graphite powder, which is a graphite powder, is characterized by a hexagonal network structure of carbon atoms, and a small number of functional groups such as --OH and --COOH exist. However, the absolute value of the zeta (ζ) potential at the interface when water is used as the dispersion medium is greater than that of the powder of the complexing metal oxide, metal carbide, metal nitride, metal boride, etc. Since it is small, the dispersibility is poor, and as a result, it is difficult to obtain a molded product having a high density, and as a result, the oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, etc., which are the properties of the final product, are higher than expected levels. There is a problem of becoming low.

That is, in the strong acid treatment method, the graphite powder can be immersed in concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, etc. and reacted at room temperature to about 100 ° C. to change the surface of the graphite particles to hydrophilic. An acid compound forms an intercalation compound that penetrates into the crystal layer of graphite to expand the graphite particles, and it is difficult to remove the acid component remaining on the surface of the particles or the interlayer after the treatment. This acid component is dissolved in the water contained in the kneaded clay or the slurry, and the pH is changed to make the dispersion state unstable, so that there is also a drawback that a compact having a high density cannot be obtained.

As a result, good dispersibility of the graphite particles in water cannot be obtained, and when this graphite powder (hereinafter, the powder composed of the surface-treated graphite particles is referred to as graphite powder) is used, the pores of the molded body are There is a problem that the rate becomes large.
