ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF LOCAL AND FOREIGN RAW MATERIALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TRIMANGANESE TETRAOXIDE PIGMENT

Аннотация

In the course of continuation of scientific research in the development of Kazakhstani technology for
the production of trimanganese tetraoxide pigment, there have been proposed new methods of analysis which make it
possible to investigate new nanostructural materials sourced from local deposits. The results obtained are of practical
importance and serve as the foundation for developing new technologically advanced domestic production of a
competitive product that is in demand both on the national and international markets. The available methods are not
able to highlight the particularity and diversity of Kazakhstani manganese ores due to the uneven distribution of
manganese minerals and host (waste) rock, the quantitative ratio of rock-forming components and their variation
instability. Methods of energy-dispersive analysis of manganese ores from Kazakhstani Zhaksylyk and Bogach
deposits have been put forward, electronic micrographs, spectrograms of samples, diagrams of normalized
distribution of elements on the surface of samples have been obtained and a comparative analysis with raw analogue
samples of some foreign manufacturers has been performed
