Abstract

In this work, we studied the zoned olivine crystals from historical metallurgical slags by means of hyperspectral Raman mapping and Raman spectroscopy. As a result, we detected 3 crystal zones: central, intermediate and peripheral. The most important was the “gap” area within the intermediate zone with a Raman band typical for olivine. This defective area was formed due to quick melt crystallization and crystal absorption of glass microparticles and non-structural impurities.
