Abstract
Two X-ray diffraction methods were chosen to determine the degree of structural order (degree of graphitization) of natural carbonaceous matter. Factors influencing the graphitization processes during the progressive and regressive stages of metamorphism are examined. The correlation of the degrees of structural order of the carbonaceous material with the sequence of mineral growth allows the metamorphic history of the graphite-bearing rocks to be traced. The obtained data can be used for the evaluation of graphite as a raw material.
