ENRICHMENT OF QUARTZ SANDS OF THE OYNAKUM DEPOSIT FOR SYNTHESIS OF HIGH-QUALITY TRANSPARENT GLASS

Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of using quartz sands from the Oynakum deposit as a promising source of high-quality quartz-containing raw materials for the glass industry in order to obtain higher grades of glass. The chemical, granulometric and mineralogical composition of quartz sands of the Oynakum deposit was studied, high concentrations of quartz sand were obtained using various enrichment schemes.
