Mineralogo-technological characteristics of graphite ores on the Fennoscandian Shield

Abstract

Graphite is described as an important mineral used in modern high technologies. The background of the study of graphite ores on the Fennoscandian Shield is discussed. On the Fennoscandian Shield, flake graphite deposits have attracted great attention again due to their evolution dynamics and assessment in Norway, Finland and Sweden. Karelia (Ladoga Lake area) is a potential region for conducting research using up-to-date analytical methods for assessment of the superpurity of graphite.
