Computer calculation of the mineralogical composition of raw materials

Abstract

The possibility of making of mineral astringent material of the low temperature «Mineral» computer program to determine the quantitative content of rock-forming minerals of silicate raw materials as factor in structure formation in technological processes of production and to achieve the specified properties of materials and products are shown. The results of calculations of the mineralogical composition of carbonate and clay raw materials are presented. Varieties of raw materials used in the chemical technology of silicates are a set of certain rock-forming minerals of known chemical composition. Determination of the quantitative content of rock-forming minerals of raw materials is possible by calculations based on the initial data of chemical and qualitative mineralogical compositions. The creation of a mathematical apparatus for processing the results of research and computer technology has increased the efficiency and efficiency of determining the quantitative content of rock-forming minerals. However, the constant increase in the number of varieties of potential raw materials makes it appropriate to improve the method of determining the quantitative mineralogical composition using computer calculations and modern software, in the direction of which the work is performed. Determining the quantitative mineralogical composition of raw materials using the computer program "Mineral" is appropriate to optimize the charge composition of masses and technological parameters of silicate production, including ceramics, glass and binders. The created program "Mineral" should be used by specialists of the building materials industry, production, research and design organizations working in the field of chemical technology of silicates, teachers and students of higher educational institutions.
