Feldspar
Feldspar is the most abundant group of minerals in
the Earth’s crust. Their use in industrial applications is widespread. In fact,
feldspar can be found in a great many objects we use on a daily basis! Most deposits offer sodium feldspar as well as
potassium feldspar and mixed feldspars. Feldspars are primarily used in
industrial applications for their alumina and alkali content.
Any of a group of aluminosilicates (containing
aluminium and silicon) minerals that also contains calcium, sodium, or
potassium. Feldspars are the most common minerals in the Earth’s crust and are
the major component in nearly all igneous rocks found on the Earth, on the
Moon, and in some meteorites. They also are common in metamorphic and some
sedimentary rocks. Their complex chemical and structural properties make them
useful for interpreting the origins of rocks. Natural feldspars can be divided
into alkali and plagioclase feldspars.
These alkali feldspars, especially alkali
feldspars of potassium origin are of particular to industries because of its
wide range of applications. They play pivotal roles in the production of
fillers in the paint, rubber, adhesive and plastic industries. They are also
used as fluxing agents in glass and ceramic applications. Additionally,
feldspar controls the degree of vitrification of the ceramic body during
firing. Porcelain: Feldspar, along with kaolin and quartz (as a form of silica)
are the primary components in modern porcelain ceramics.
