Abstract
This article is investigating analysis and chemical composition of ceramic pegmatite minerals obtained from the Terek deposit in Toktogul district of Kyrgyzstan. Several methods such as mineralogical studies, magnetic and gravitational enrichments, silicate and chemical analyses of ceramic pegmatite minerals, quartz-feldspathic concentrate and sludge removal have been performed for determination of pegmatite mineral applicability for production of porcelain and earthenware.
Highlights
Pegmatite research, origin and classification of minerals have interesting geoscientists for well over a century [1]
Ceramic pegmatites include the so-called pure line granite pegmatites, according to Fersman, an example of which are the pegmatite fields of North Karelia, Ukraine and the Urals; hybrid pegmatites among carbonate pegmatites, composed mainly of microcline-perthite with an admixture of quartz, tremolite, phlogopite, diopside and other minerals; desilicated granite pegmatites among ultrabasic pegmatites, represented by albitites; alkaline nepheline pegmatites, composed mainly of potassium feldspar and nepheline with an admixture of biotite, aegirine, zircon, and other minerals
Pegmatite containing granite is used as raw material for industrial minerals in
Summary
Origin and classification of minerals have interesting geoscientists for well over a century [1]. Ceramic pegmatite is composed exclusively of potassium feldspar or albite with quartz or nepheline and small amounts of other minerals, used as a raw material for the production of ceramics. Ceramic pegmatites include the so-called pure line granite pegmatites, according to Fersman, an example of which are the pegmatite fields of North Karelia, Ukraine and the Urals; hybrid pegmatites among carbonate pegmatites, composed mainly of microcline-perthite with an admixture of quartz, tremolite, phlogopite, diopside and other minerals (pegmatites of the state of New York, USA); desilicated granite pegmatites among ultrabasic pegmatites, represented by albitites; alkaline nepheline pegmatites, composed mainly of potassium feldspar and nepheline with an admixture of biotite, aegirine, zircon, and other minerals (pegmatites of the Vishnevy Mountains, Ural). The largest deposits of ceramic pegmatite are the Precambrian pegmatite fields of Karelia and Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, and the USA [4]
