Glauconite-containing overburden is a promising raw material for the synthesis of glasses for various purposes

The results of a study on the use glauconite-containing overburden rocks Novodvorskoye deposit Pinsk district Brest region to produce glasses for various purposes are presented. compositions raw materials in system «glauconite-containing rock – chalk iron oxide soda ash» have been developed, limiting amount components and basic oxides optimized. It has established that main criterion obtaining high-quality is rational combination refractory low-melting oxides, which ensures homogeneity glasses, working viscosity, ability form ways, absence tendency crystallization, black color mass, as well complex satisfactory physical chemical properties. confirmed prospects using synthesis purposes, will contribute natural resources associated minerals Republic Belarus, improve environmental situation areas adjacent deposit.
