The Mineralogy Laboratory of the K.I. Satpaev Institute of Geological Sciences
The Mineralogy Laboratory of the K.I. Satpaev Institute of Geological Sciences specializes in comprehensive research on minerals, their composition, structure, and properties. The primary goal of the laboratory is to provide high-quality analytical services for the evaluation and development of mineral deposits, contributing to the growth of Kazakhstan's mining and processing industries. Key areas of activity:
Mineralogical analysis: Determining the composition and structure of minerals using modern analytical methods.
Petrographic analysis: Studying rocks to identify their mineralogical composition and texture.
Geochemical analysis: Determining the content of elements in minerals and rocks to assess their economic value.
Physicochemical research: Studying the physical and chemical properties of minerals, including their thermal and mechanical stability.
Development of processing technological schemes: Creating efficient methods for extracting valuable components from minerals and ores.
Research methods: The laboratory uses a wide range of modern analysis methods, including:
Analyzed products and materials: The laboratory conducts research on various materials, including:
Ores: polymetallic, rare metal, black metal ores
Minerals and micromineral inclusions
Concentrates of noble, base, and rare metals
Technological by-products, tailings, etc.
Rocks
Non-ferrous metals and their alloys, scrap and waste
Steel, cast iron, scrap and waste of black metals
Ferroalloys
Soils
Gravel, building sand
Portland cement, refractory materials and products
Collaboration and services: The laboratory actively collaborates with various scientific and industrial organizations, providing services for the analysis and research of minerals and rocks, and participates in inter-laboratory experiments for the certification analysis of standard substance samples. The activities of the Mineralogy Laboratory play a key role in the scientific work of the K.I. Satpaev Institute of Geological Sciences, contributing to the development of geological research and the efficient use of the country's mineral resources.
