Mineralogical and chemical characteristics of a powder and purified quartz from Yunnan Province

Abstract: For comprehensive utilization of powder quartz, a detailed mineralogical analysis is needed. In this paper, the minerals collected from a powder quartz deposit in Yunnan Province and its purification products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical composition, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The raw powder quartz deposit had a simple mineral composition made of 85% quartz and 15% clay minerals kaolinite and illite with a trace amount of feldspar. It had narrow particle size di… Show more

“…1) contain all the characteristic peaks of clinoptilolite, 23 as well as intense lines of quartz. 24 Alkaline treatment (sample H(#1-B)) led to a noticeable decrease in the intensity of clinoptilolite lines, which indicates significant destruction of its crystal structure (γ~30%). But in this case, it should also be considered that alkaline treatment usually leads to a decrease in the particle size of the catalysts, which could worsen the X-ray diffraction pattern.…”

“…The existence of C in EDS data was linked to adventitious carbon contamination on the mineral surface. [28][29][30][31][32] The surface of pristine FLS was mainly composed of Si oxide with varying amounts of Na, and Al oxides according to Table 1. This data was found to be correlated with the chemical composition of FLS displayed in Table S1.…”

“…They also possess relatively low hydraulic effect on cement [5] . The high purity quartzes are relevant in high technological industries such as semiconductors, high temperature lamp tubing, tele-communications, optics, microelectronics and solar silicon applications [6,7] . It is the second most abundant mineral on the earth surface after Feldspar and possesses a hardness of 7, white in color with a specific gravity between 2.6 and 2.7 [8] .…”
