Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

A technique for the recalculation of data of the chemical analysis of basaltic rocks in terms of mineral composition by the method of physicochemical calculations is proposed. On the basis of data available in the literature on the chemical composition of a series of samples of these rocks, calculations of their mineral composition are carried out. A good correlation of the calculation and experimental data is obtained. The technique proposed can be applied to estimate the mineral composition of raw materials and evaluate the methods of its modification in the technology for obtaining basaltic fibers and stone-cast materials.
