Abstract

The structural-phase, chemical composition and magnetic properties of artificial glasses obtained by high-temperature melting of rock mixtures of different genesis: volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks, quartzitic shales, psamite-silt-pelitic complexes were studied. Different in duration cooling and glass transition conditions were used for glass synthesis. The magnetic state of the iron-containing phase and the analysis of the presence and contribution of iron oxides to the magnetic properties were assumed to be the characteristic criterion determining the parameters of the glass formation process. It was shown that the total iron content in artificial glasses depends exclusively on the composition of the initial charge. In this case, the iron-containing component is mainly determined by sedimentary rocks. The formation of magnetic minerals is determined both by the composition of the charge and by the rate of cooling of the melt. During “fast” cooling, the formed magnetic particles are mostly (up to 90% or more of the total content of the magnetic phase in the sample) in a superparamagnetic state. During “slow” cooling, a mixture of particles of different sizes and, accordingly, in different magnetic states is formed: from superparamagnetic to low-domagnetic. The ferrimagnetic phase crystallizing in artificial glasses is represented by chemically heterogeneous aggregates of iron oxides, mainly non-stoichiometric magnetite.
