In recent years, China's coal measure graphite research has made a series of new progress and new discoveries in the formation mechanism, ore control factors, identification indicators, mineral processing and other aspects, the exploration and prospecting work has also achieved remarkable results, but there are still many problems in the exploration and development and utilization of resources, so that its resource strategic support ability can not be fully brought into play, leading to excessive use of resource in low value-added fields, resulting in a waste of resources and other phenomena.Methods & Conclusions: In this paper, the factors restricting the development and utilization of coal measure graphite in China are discussed from six aspects, such as lack of understanding of metallogenic pattern, lack of evolution mechanism, unclear physical and chemical properties, lack of protective exploitation degree, backward mineral processing technology and insufficient research and development of high-end product innovation technology. Results:Corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are provided, which will promote the healthy development of China's coal-measure graphite industry.
