Pasir mineral merupakan salah satu mineral endapan (sedimen) dengan ukuran butir 0,074-5 mm, ukuran kasar (5–3 mm) dan halus (1 mm), ciri fisik dari pasir mineral ini diantaranya berwarna hitam dan cenderung tertarik oleh magnet. Berdasarkan beberapa penelitian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya didapatkan bahwa kandungan utama dari pasir mineral berupa mineral ilmenit (FeTiO3), hematite (Fe2 - O3), dan magnetit (Fe3O4). Oleh karena itu maka pasir mineral ini sangat potensial untuk menghasilkan logam Fe, Ti, besi oksida dan pigmen titanium oksida. Dalam penelitian ini pengayaan kandungan besi dilakukan dengan metode separasi magnetik kemudian dikarakterisasi menggunakan XRF. Selanjutnya sampel tersebut disinter pada suhu 800oC, dengan variasi waktu penahanan selama 2, 4 dan 6 jam dan di karakterisasi menggunakan XRD, dimana hasilnya dianalisis dengan metode GSAS. Hasil pengujian XRF menunjukkan bahwa pasir mineral murni (bahan mentah) mempunyai kandungan Fe dan Ti masing–masing 14,38 dan 2,80% (%berat), sedangkan setelah separasi magnetik kandungan Fe dan Ti meningkat masing–masing menjadi 83,51 dan 7,25% (%berat). Hasil analisis GSAS menunjukkan bahwa waktu sintering berpengaruh terhadap fraksi berat Fe dan Ti, ini ditunjukkan senyawa Fe3O4 menurun dari 81,85 menjadi 77,76% dan Fe2O3 dari 11,44 menjadi 3,41%, sementara FeTiO3 meningkat dengan bertambahnya waktu sintering dari 6,72 menjadi 18,83%. The mineral sand is one of the mineral sediments with grain size of 0.074 – 5 mm, coarse size (5–3 mm) and fine (1 mm). The physical characteristics of this mineral sand are black color and tend to be attracted by magnets. Based on several studies, the main content of mineral sand is ilmenite (FeTiO3), hematite (Fe2O3), and magnetite (Fe3O4). Therefore mineral sand is very potential to produce Fe, Ti, iron oxide and titanium oxide pigments. In this study, the iron contents from raw materials were enhanced by magnetic separation method, and then the samples were characterized using XRF. Therefore they were sintered at temperature 800oC and variation of holding times 2, 4 and 6 h. The characterization of sample used XRD, where this result is analyzed using GSAS method. The XRF results showed that pure mineral sand (raw materials), has Fe and Ti contents of 14.38 and 2.80% (%weight), whereas after magnetic separation, the Fe and Ti contents increased to 83.51 and 7.25%, respectively. The analysis result of GSAS showed that the sintering time affected the weight fraction of Fe and Ti. These indicated that Fe3O4 decreased from 81.85 to 77.76% and Fe2O3 from 11.44 to 3.41%, while FeTiO3 raise with increasing of sintering time from 6.72 to 18.83%.

The paper presents the results of analyzing the prospects of using clay raw materials in a composition with metallurgical slags for the production of ceramic products. The results of the analysis of the chemical and mineralogical properties of clay from the Khalilovsky deposit in the Orenburg region and nickel slags from the dumps of the South Ural Nickel Combine are presented. The studies were carried out using X-ray fluorescence and differential thermal analysis methods. The article presents the performed X-ray and derivatograms of slag and clay and the features of the experimental types of raw materials revealed during their analysis. The connection between the chemical and mineralogical compositions of the experimental clay and slags on the technological properties of finished ceramic products has been theoretically established. The use of XRF and DTA to study the characteristics of plastic and non-plastic raw materials made it possible at the first stages of the experiment to reject materials that were unsatisfactory in properties for the production of ceramic products, which contributes to the optimization of experiments, rational consumption of costs of newly mined clay raw materials.

Abstract This study examines small-scale household ceramic production at the site of Xaltocan, Mexico, to understand the organization of household ceramic production prior to the development of the Aztec Empire. We examine utilitarian vessels and serving wares from an Early Postclassic (a.d. 900–1200) domestic context using neutron activation analysis (NAA). We also examine archaeological evidence for ceramic manufacture. The NAA data reveal that similar raw materials and paste recipes were used for both utilitarian and decorated wares, suggesting that households produced both plain and decorated pottery. We conclude that ceramic production was an intermittent activity that took place alongside other crafts and agriculture. By looking at ceramics within their contexts of use and production, we consider the practices and choices made by individual social units, which is crucial to interpreting broader Early Postclassic economic systems and the ways in which commoners influenced these systems.

This article considers the possibility of increasing the effectiveness of composite gypsum binders (CGB) by controlling the processes of structure formation as a result of using new types of multicomponent mineral additives that are significantly different from the traditionally used quartz raw materials:- waste of wet magnetic separation of ferrous quartzites (WMS waste,) of polymineral composition with quartzy of varying degrees of crystallinity, nanodispersed silica and chalk powder. We have studied the cause-effect relationship between the change in the ratio of binding and mineral additives of various compositions, which determines the conditions for the formation of technological and strength characteristics of the projected composite materials with specified performance properties. We have established the presence of regularities in the changes in the properties of CGB, the composition of the hardening products and the microstructure depending on the type and content of gypsum binders of β-and α-modifications, portland cement, multicomponent finely-dispersed mineral additives, the regularity consists in the binding of portlandite, which is released upon portland cement hydration, by the amorphous phase of earth siliconas a part ofnanodispersed powder and chalcedony variety of quartz waste of wet magnetic separation of ferruginous quartzites. This provides a reduction in the basicity of the solidifying system, the intensification of crystal formation, and the formation of newgrowths with a high content of tobormorite-low-basic calcium hydrosilicates that compact the microstructure of the hardening matrix and, as a result, increase the water resistance and stability. It is noted that this mechanism of hydration of CGB minimizes inner stresses and volume deformations, therefore the number of microcracks decreases, which leads to an increase in its efficiency in comparison with the traditionally used gypsum binder and that differs from the traditional portland cement by a fast strength generation.

The northern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has a significant participation in the country ceramic production for civil construction owing to the abundance of raw materials, mainly kaolinitic clays. Each municipality in that region has ceramic industries using raw materials mined from its own deposits. Products such as bricks and tiles may lack the required quality due to the limited know-how on the applied raw material. The present work conducted a technological evaluation of the clayey raw material used in the municipality of São José de Ubá including its potential for ceramic processing at firing temperatures of 700, 850 and 950oC. The results indicated that only the ceramic fired at 950oC conforms to the specifications for water absorption and mechanical strength.

This work has as its objective to evaluate the influence of a granite waste into a clayey ceramic body for obtaining of rustic wall tiles. As raw materials, a clayey ceramic body for red ceramic production and a granite waste, resulting from ornamental stones cutting with the multi-wire technology were used. Compositions using 0, 10, 20 and 30% of waste incorporated into ceramic body were prepared. Specimens were fabricated by uniaxial press-molding at 20 MPa and sintered at 1050°C. The following properties were determined: linear shrinkage, water absorption and flexural rupture strength. In general, within the error bar, there was no influence of the waste in the values of water absorption of the clayey ceramic body. The results showed that all investigated formulations used in this work for the production of rustic wall tiles attend the standards for water absorption and mechanical strength.

Ta and Nb are considered critical raw materials due to their properties and potential applications in a wide range of sectors. This study deals with Sn-Ta-Nb minerals from the Penouta mine (Orense, Spain), the only active mine in Europe producing tantalum minerals. These minerals are obtained from mining waste accumulated during old mining operations in tailing ponds. The industrial processing flowsheet is based on successive gravimetric stages followed by low intensity magnetic separation to reduce ferromagnetic contaminants. A Sn-Ta-Nb concentrate, with grades between 35–45% Sn and 4–7% Ta2O5 and Nb2O5, is obtained in this stage with plant recoveries around 60–70%, respectively. A chemical-mineralogical characterization by size fractions, XRF and XRD was carried out to implement a size classification stage in the processing plant. The finest fractions, containing higher grades of well-liberated Sn, Ta, and Nb minerals were utilized as the feed for dry high intensity magnetic separation (DHIMS) multifactorial tests, while coarse fractions were regrinded to maximize performance. The favorable results obtained in these tests demonstrate that two products with commercial quality can be obtained: a cassiterite concentrate with grades between 70–78% SnO2 and a tantalite-columbite concentrate with grades ranging between 12 and 14% Ta2O5 and Nb2O5, while also increasing the overall recovery of the plant.

Nickel laterite ore is divided into three layers and the garnierite examined in this study belongs to the third layer. Garnierite is characterized by high magnesium and silicon contents. The main contents of garnierite are silicates, and nickel, iron, and magnesium exist in silicates in the form of lattice exchange. Silicate minerals are difficult to destroy so are suitable for smelting using high-temperature pyrometallurgy. To solve the problem of the large amounts of slag produced and the inability to recycle the magnesium in the traditional pyrometallurgical process, we propose a vacuum carbothermal reduction and magnetic separation process to recover nickel, iron, and magnesium from garnierite, and the behavior of the additive CaF2 in the reduction process was investigated. Experiments were conducted under pressures ranging from 10 to 50 Pa with different proportions of CaF2 at different temperatures. The experimental data were obtained by various methods, such as thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The analysis results indicate that CaF2 directly reacted with Mg2SiO4, MgSiO3, Ni2SiO4, and Fe2SiO4, which were isolated from the bearing minerals, to produce low-melting-point compounds (FeF2, MgF2, NiF2, etc.) at 1315 and 1400 K. This promoted the conversion of the raw materials from a solid–solid reaction to a liquid–liquid reaction, accelerating the mass transfer and the heat transfer of Fe–Ni particles, and formed Si–Ni–Fe alloy particles with diameters of approximately of 20 mm. The smelting materials appeared stratified, hindering the reduction of magnesium. The results of the experiments indicate that at 1723 K, the molar ratio of ore/C was 1:1.2, the addition of CaF2 was 3%, the recovery of Fe and Ni reached 82.97% and 98.21% in the vacuum carbothermal reduction–magnetic separation process, respectively, and the enrichment ratios of Fe and Ni were maximized, reaching 3.18 and 9.35, respectively.
