Chemical and mineralogical studies of basalt “Aydarkul”
Аннотация
In the article, the geologic, structural, and mineralogical composition of the “Aydarkul” basalt mine was studied as a result of research, and a complete analysis of the physical and chemical pieces of the basalt rock was given. Based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies, the physical and chemical foundations of pyro- and hydrometallurgical methods of rock processing - basalt raw materials - have been developed. Technological options are proposed that allow obtaining demanded products of various compositions. A schematic diagram of the complex processing of basalt raw materials has been developed, including the processing of waste and by-products, as well as the extraction of accessory materials. The study found that the basalts of the Aydarkul mine can be used in the electric power industry.
