Feldspar and its basic properties

I. Overview

Aluminosilicate minerals are feldspar, potassium, sodium, calcium, barium, alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, the crystal structure is a frame structure. The main components thereof are SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , K 2 O, Na 2 O, CaO and the like. The feldspar minerals are the most widely distributed in the earth's crust, accounting for about 50% of the total weight of the crust. They are a ubiquitous rock-forming mineral, 60% of which is found in magma, 30% in metamorphic rocks, and 10% in sedimentary rocks, mainly in clastic rocks, but only when it is quite enriched, feldspar can become Industrial minerals. There are four main components of feldspar: potassium feldspar, albite, anorthite, celsian, and the main physical and chemical properties of the feldspar minerals are as follows:

Potash feldspar: K 2 O, Al 2 O 3 , 6SiO 2 , wherein K 2 O 16.9 %, Al 2 O 3 18.4 %, SiO 2 64.8 %, density 2.56 g/cm 3 , Mohs hardness 6 , monoclinic Crystal system, the color is white, red, milky white, melting point 1290 ° C.

Second, the type of deposits and their distribution

1. The genetic type of the deposit

The feldspar deposits can be divided into two categories according to their causes:

(1) Pegmatite-type feldspar mine: These deposits mainly occur in the pegmatite area, and the surrounding rocks are mostly ancient sedimentary metamorphic gneiss or mixed lithified gneiss. There are also some veins that are produced in granite or basic rock or on contact belts. The ore is mainly concentrated in the feldspar block belt of the pegmatite or the single feldspar pegmatite. Most of China's feldspar deposits are pegmatite deposits, such as Linyi in Shaanxi, Wangcang in Sichuan, Wenxi in Shanxi, Xintai in Shandong, Haicheng in Liaoning, and Hengshan in Hunan.

(2) Magmatic rock-type feldspar deposits: These deposits are produced in acidic, intermediate-acid and alkaline magmatic rocks, of which the most important ones are produced in alkaline rocks, such as nepheline syenite and nepheline syenite. Rock deposits, followed by granite, Baigangyan deposits and syenite and quartz syenite deposits.

2. Mineral deposit, industrial type

In general, pure feldspar is rare in nature. Even minerals known as "potassium feldspar" may be symbiotic or mixed with some albite. The feldspar mineral composed of K-feldspar and albite is generally called alkali feldspar; the feldspar mineral composed of albite and anorthite is called plagioclase; the feldspar mineral composed of anorthite and celsian is called Alkali feldspar. Potassium micro-plagioclase is a kind of potassium feldspar whose crystal system is triclinic. The albite is regularly arranged in the potassium feldspar, called stripe feldspar.

The feldspar mines that have been exploited in China are mainly produced in pegmatite. Some of the feldspars are produced in weathered granite, fine-grained rocks, hydrothermal alteration deposits and feldspar sands.

3. Distribution of minerals

Feldspar is one of the most abundant minerals in the earth's crust and is produced in some sinkholes and in almost all igneous rocks. It is inferred that the feldspar mining bed is located in most parts of the world, and the total amount of potential minerals available is also extremely large.

China's feldspar mine resources are very rich. As of 1994, there are dozens of mines with certain reserves, and the national A+B+C grade reserves are 40.83 million tons.

four. Ore nature

(one). Mineral composition of ore

Feldspar is a potassium, sodium, calcium aluminosilicate mineral composed of a silicon oxide tetrahedron. In nature, feldspar is roughly divided into three series. The first is an alkaline feldspar series formed by the mutual fusion of potassium and sodium feldspar, which includes five kinds of feldspar, micro plagioclase, perlite, feldspar and feldspar; The plagioclase series formed by the mutual mixing of sodium and anorthite. At present, it is customary to divide the plagioclase into six types according to the difference in the content ratio of sodium and calcium components, as shown in the following table:

Plagioclus mineral classification

Name sodium feldspar longer stone feldspar labradorite feldspar calcium feldspar

Azocelite molecular content%100—9090—7070—5050—3030—1010—0

Calcium feldspar molecular content%0—1010—3030—5050—7070—9090—100

(2) Mineral characteristics of the target mineral

The feldspar crystal form has two types: monoclinic and triclinic. Alkaline feldspar is brownish red, flesh red, white, gray and white, and plagioclase is grayish white and dark gray. The hardness of feldspar is 6-6.5, the density is 2.55-2.67g/cm 3 , the glass is lustrous, and the two groups are completely cleaved.

Feldspar twin crystals are more common and have become an important feature in the identification of feldspar. According to the relationship between twin bonding and twin axis, they can be divided into three categories: orthogonal twin, parallel twin and mixed twin. Common twin crystals are: albite double crystal, card type double crystal, Xiao double crystal, Aklin double crystal and so on.
