Research of electrohydraulic destruction of mineral quartz

Abstract

In connection with the government's program of import substitution, the possibility of obtaining products based on quartz-containing local raw materials of Kazakhstan has gained relevance. The most popular quartz raw material in the technological processes are easily regenerated quartzites, which ensure a higher rate of chemical transformations. The article presents the results of the investigation of the electrohydraulic method for the destruction and grinding of the natural quartz mineral of the Aktas deposit. Also, the microstructure and energy spectrum of the quartz sample were studied before and after electrohydraulic treatment. Electric discharge in a liquid is the main operating mechanism in many domestic and foreign technologies. From the whole complex complex of phenomena that arise during an electric discharge in a liquid, direct transformation of electric energy into the energy of the pressure of shock waves is used. Application of the electrohydraulic effect for the quartz mineral crushing allows to optimally use the obtained dosage fractions for various industries.
