Abstract
The article presents aluminum silicate potassium mineral—synnyrite, named after the Synnyr Ridge where this alkaline rock occurs—and composition and properties of the mineral. It is shown that synnyrite has complex composition, with the rock-forming minerals of potassic feldspar and kalsilite. The authors have developed the advanced processing flowsheet for synnyrite.
