Abstract

The paper describes a new approach to alumina and aluminum production from a nonconventional aluminosilicate feed, namely, zeolite tuffs. The authors substantiate mineralogical features and technological principles of treatment of zeolites and clayey minerals that are in composition of zeolite ores. The illustrated use perspectiveness for the zeolite processing and mechanical activation will greatly enhance the processes of opening and decomposition of base minerals.
