Feldspar

Feldspar are chemically alumino-silicates. There are several types of feldspar available in the state of Rajasthan (India): Most deposits offer sodium feldspar, potassium feldspar and mixed feldspar.

 The fusibility of the mineral make it useful raw material for many application and the purity is the indication of better fusibility in the application. The geological context specific to each deposit gives the feldspar a variety of physical and chemical properties, thus providing products for a full-range of ceramic and glass making applications.

 At mines the deposits are blasted to break up the rock and make it accessible to the diggers and loaders. The material after breaking up are manually sorted to prepare feed stocks and than each lot is tested with a view to providing the process plant with a constant homogeneous supply that is appropriate for the application purposes. The selected material is than transported to the users.

 The remaining product (R/O) is directly sold in the form of sand to glass manufacturers or ground for ceramic markets.
