The Lutang graphite deposit in Chenzhou, Hunan province, China, is a well-known coal seam-derived graphite (graphite formed from coal during its natural evolution) deposit with proven reserves of 9.5 million tons and prospective reserves of around 20 million tons (2015 data). The graphite occurs at an andalusite bearing sericite quartz chlorite metamorphic mudstone around a c. 530 km2 Qitianling granite intrusion. A set of coal seam-derived graphite samples from the Lutang graphite deposit in Hunan was examined by geochemical, crystallographic, and spectroscopic techniques to assess changes in the degree of graphitization approaching the intrusion. The carbon content, degree of graphitization, and Raman spectral parameters of series coal seam-derived natural graphite samples show a fluctuating increase with increasing proximity to the granite intrusion. The profile of geological structural features has a close spatial correlation with the variations in the degree of graphitization of series coal seam-derived natural graphite, and a strain-enhanced graphitization model is proposed. Moreover, the geographical distribution and the degree of graphitization are positively related to changes in the iron content of chlorite, suggesting a graphitization process promoted by mineral catalysis during metamorphism. A close spatial relationship exists between graphite mineral and chlorite occurrences when approaching the intrusive mass. The results of this research are important for understanding the role of tectonic stress and mineral catalysis on the genesis of coal-derived graphite.
