Physicochemical analysis as the methodological basis of mineral processing and inorganic synthesis

Abstract

Based on N.S. Kurnakov’s composition-property conception of physicochemical analysis and on studies by I.V. Tananaev, V.B. Lazarev, A.D. Verkhoturov, and other scientists, we suggest the raw material-technology-composition-structure-particle size-property-application seven-term formula as the methodological basis for mineral processing and for the synthesis of inorganic materials for various purposes. Our systematic studies have resulted in the development of processing technologies for mineral and technogenic calcium- and silicon-containing materials for obtaining synthetic calcium silicates and various related materials.
