For a coarse-grained (particle containing) graphite, the system depicted in Figure 1 is typical. The nin-of-kiln coke is brought in on railroad cars and emptied into pits where the coke is conveyed to an elevator. The elevator feeds a second conveyor that empties the coke into any one of a number of storage silos where the coke is kept dry. The manufacturer usually specifies a maximum moisture content in the incoming coke at about 0.1—0.2% to ensure that mix compositions are not altered by fluctuations in moisture content.

Starch, a reserve polysaccharide widely distributed in plants, is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet. In plants, starch is present in the chloroplasts in leaves, as well as in fruits, seeds, and tubers. The starch content is especially high in cereal grains (up to 75% of the dry weight), potato tubers (approximately 65%), and in other plant storage organs.
