Comparative Geological and Mineral-Petrological Analysis of Ore-Bearing Rock in Lithium and Beryllium Deposits for Modeling the Behavior of Ore Minerals During Processing

Abstract

A comparative analysis of ore-bearing rock in the Zavitinskoe and Ermakovskoe deposits is made. Such an analysis is needed because of the requirements of working with ore-mining concentrates, which model the basic physical and chemical parameters of beryllium-containing concentrates that influence their preparation efficiency and subsequent opening with reagents. It was found that it is possible to develop a general model system for the chemical and physical behavior of lithium and beryllium ore minerals and the bearing rock in the Ermakovskoe and Zavitinskoe deposits. Ore materials in the Zavitinskoe deposit (lithium association) model the physicochemical behavior of beryllium-containing ore minerals in the Ermakovskoe deposit (beryllium association).
