Research in the Field of Diversification of the Production of Chrysotile Industry — Metallurgy and Production of Mineral Fiber

Abstract

This article considers the issues of resource conservation and integrated development of deposits, as well as their involvement in the processing of ore rocks, such as gabbro-diabase of the Bazhenov deposit, which has reduced the environmental burden and the costs of dumping and reclamation. Melting of gabbro-diabase of the Bazhenov deposit makes it possible to obtain a new product, i.e., basalt (rock) wool, which is a good heatproof, soundproof, and fireproof material for the construction industry. Based on this material, a unique hydroponic substrate is produced, which is widely used in agriculture. Increasing the complexity of processing mineral resources is an opportunity to obtain additional profit for the enterprise from new types of products.
