The article is devoted to research of the main structural parameters of vitrinites of bituminous coals of various metamorphism degrees carried out by methods of X-ray phase and X-ray structural analysis. Vitrinite concentrates were obtained from coal of the Kuznetsk Basin. The main X-ray structural parameters were estimated: the number of carbon atoms in the lamellae (natC), the longitudinal size of the lamellae, and the height of their stacking (La and Lc), the number of polyaromatic layers in the package (N), and the packing density of the lamellae (ρ). It is shown in the work that in vitrinite concentrates, an increase in all analyzed structural parameters (Lc, La, natC, N, ρ) is observed with an increase in the degree of metamorphism, at the same time, a decrease in the value of the interplanar distance (d002) is observed. The XRD analysis showed that for the average number of layers in a package and carbon atoms per monolayer, in the samples of vitrinite concentrates of bituminous coals of high stages of metamorphism (Ro, r = 1.41%) varies from 7 to 8 and 14-15, respectively. It was found a correlation between the linear nature of the number of polyarene-layers and the height of their stacking. The results obtained were in good agreement with the literature data given for coals of various deposits.
