Abstract

The study examines the chemical-mineralogical composition and phase transformations of serpentinites from the Arvaten and Sultan-Uvays deposits to assess their suitability as local raw materials for forsterite refractories. XRD, SEM and chemical analysis were employed. The main stages of thermal transformations and their relationship to the formation of forsterite-bearing phases were identified. The magnesia-silicate and magnesia-iron modules were considered as suitability criteria. The results show that serpentinites from the Arvaten deposit are a promising feedstock for producing forsterite refractory materials.
