Aluminum ore - bauxite

The well-known metal aluminum in its pure form does not occur in nature. It is mined from aluminum ores - minerals containing various compounds of this substance. The most famous and widely mined aluminum ore is called bauxite.

In our country, bauxites are mined in the Urals, Siberia, the Baikal region and the Kola Peninsula. There are also bauxite deposits in Hungary, Central and South Africa, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, France and India.

After special treatment, pure aluminum is released from bauxite. It is a very light weight silver-white metal. It is easy to forge, conducts heat and electricity well, and, unlike most metals, is virtually non-corrosive.

Due to its properties, aluminum is widely used in industry. It is used to make dishes (pots, pans, trays, spoons and forks), aluminum foil for baking and packaging, wires, pipes, it is used in the production of microcircuits, paint is made from aluminum, as well as frames for scooters and bicycles, aircraft fuselages and much more. other .

Minerals

Minerals are the wealth of the earth's pantries that a person uses in the economy.

Limestone

Minerals are rocks and minerals that a person uses in the economy.

Clay Clay is a secondary product of the earth's crust, a sedimentary rock formed as a result of the destruction of rocks in the process of weathering.

Application Clay is the basis of pottery, brick production.

Limestone Limestone is a sedimentary rock of organic origin. It dissolves in water in small amounts.

Granite Granite (Italian granito, - grain) - Consists of quartz, potassium feldspar and micas. Granites are very widespread in the continental crust.

This mountain of iron ore will be used in steel production.

Oil Oil (Greek ναφθα - flash, ignite) is a flammable oily liquid, red-brown, sometimes almost black in color, although sometimes it is also slightly colored yellow-green and even colorless oil, has a specific smell, is common in the sedimentary shell of the Earth ; one of the most important minerals for mankind

Pipeline

Now answer the question: what are houses, schools, factories built from?

What are cars and airplanes made of?

Correctly. It takes a lot to build a house sand, cement, limestone ; to make machines, machine tools, cast iron is needed,steel, copper, aluminium. But they built cars, planes, but they themselves will not go and will not fly. What else do they need? (children's answers)

Yes, they need the fuel they get from oil .

Fuel is also needed for heating residential premises and industrial enterprises. All these substances occur at different depths in the bowels of the earth and on its surface. To enjoy these riches, they must be mined. That's whyoil, coal, peat, sandand other substances necessary for people, which are extracted from the bowels of the earth or from its surface, are called fossils.

Why are they useful? (children's answers)

Well done! Minerals are the wealth of the earth's pantries that a person uses in the economy.

All minerals are divided into three groups: combustible, ore (metal) and non-metallic (construction).

We will get acquainted with minerals, and divide them into groups.

Do you know what minerals are used as fuel?

The fossil fuels arecoal, peat, oil, natural gas. All this different types fossil fuel.

What is the importance of fuel? (children's answers)

When these fossils are burned, heat is generated. It is necessary for the operation of factories, factories, heating houses, cooking.

Fossil fuels are a valuable raw material for the chemical industry. For example, from oil make petroleum jelly, drugs, soap, plastics, gasoline, kerosene. And from hard coal – paints, perfumes, also medicines and plastics. Plastics are made from natural gas .

Let's talk about ore minerals. Many of the objects around us are made of cast iron, steel, iron, which are not found in nature in their pure form. These metals are smelted from ores. from iron ore - cast iron, steel, copper - copper. 800 billion tons of iron ore have been explored.

Look around. What items are made of metals?

Well done. Let's move on to the third group.

Why do you think they are called construction?

Name the minerals belonging to this group (sand, clay, limestone, peat, coal).

And now we will practical work in groups.

(Studying the properties sand, coal)

Samples of minerals have been brought to your laboratory for research. Your task: to consider a mineral, to study, to list its properties. You need to write down all the research in a journal-notebook on page 28 and draw a conclusion about the possible use of this mineral.

    The issues of economic evaluation of natural resources will be considered in more detail later.

    The natural resource potential is the most important part of the country's national wealth. According to scientists from the Institute of Geography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, carried out in the 70s, the share of Belarus in the total natural resource potential

    The USSR accounted for 1.2%, which significantly exceeded its share in the total area of ​​the country - 0.9%. This excess is due to better provision of land resources (above the world average), more favorable climatic conditions, sufficient water and forest resources. At the same time, a relatively low concentration of mineral and raw materials, especially fuel and energy, is noted on the territory of Belarus.

    The natural resource potential of the country and its individual regions changes in the process of nature management, which is due, on the one hand, to the depletion of certain types of natural resources due to their exhaustibility and irrational use. On the other hand, scientific and technological progress opens up opportunities for involving new types of natural resources in the national economic turnover, expanding the country's raw materials and fuel and energy base.

    3.3. Minerals

    3.3.1. General characteristics and classification of minerals

    All fossil substances (solid, liquid and gaseous) and geothermal energy are concentrated in the upper layers of the earth's crust. Numerical assessment of the average content chemical elements in the bowels of the earth, various types rocks produced using clarke of a given substance(expressed as a percentage, in g / t, etc.).

    Clarks of elements- a system of average contents characterizing the abundance of chemical elements in a large geochemical system;

    system (in the earth's crust, lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, on the Earth as a whole or in space). It is expressed in mass, volume, atomic percent (%), ppm (‰), parts per million (g / t) or in relation to the content of one of the most common elements, such as silicon.

    More than 99% of the mass of the earth's crust are clarks of the following elements: oxygen - 47%; silicon - 29.6; aluminum - 8.05; iron - 4.65; calcium - 2.96; sodium - 2.50; potassium - 2.5; magnesium - 1.87%. Knowledge of clarks is important in prospecting and industrial evaluation of mineral deposits.

    minerals(mineral raw materials) is commonly called a natural mineral formation of the earth's crust of inorganic and organic origin, which can be used in the national economy.

    Rock deposits that are enriched in one or more minerals (regardless of their practical value) are simply called

    mineral (geological) deposits . Those of them that represent

    they are natural accumulations of minerals, in terms of quantity, quality and conditions of occurrence suitable for industrial and other economic use, are called mineral deposits. Mine-

    ore accumulations with small reserves or poor ores (which makes development economically inexpedient) are usually considered as ore occurrences. In the case of improvement in mining techniques and extraction of useful components, ore occurrences can move into the category of industrial deposits.

    Minerals, depending on the area of ​​economic application, are divided into the following groups:

    fuel and energy(oil, natural gas, fossil coal, oil shale, peat, uranium ores);

    ore, which is the raw material basis of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy (iron and manganese ores, chromites, bauxites, copper, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, tin, noble metal ores, etc.);

    mining and chemical raw materials (phosphorites, apatites, cooking, potash

    and magnesium salts, sulfur and its compounds, barite, boric salts, bromine and iodine-containing solutions);

    natural (mineral) building materials and non-metallic

    minerals, as well as ornamental, technical and precious stones (marble, granite, jasper, agate, rock crystal, garnet, corundum, diamond, etc.);

    hydromineral(underground fresh and mineralized waters). The quantitative assessment of mineral resources is expressed by reserves of

    minerals, identified and explored. The value of explored reserves varies depending on the size of mining, gradually

    exploration penalties (increase in proven reserves), as well as from the development of geological knowledge about the structure of the earth's crust.

    Geological exploration data make it possible to calculate the volume of minerals, and by multiplying the volume by the density, determine the reserves of minerals in terms of weight. When calculating the reserves of liquid and gaseous minerals, in addition to the volumetric method, the method of calculating the inflows in wells is used. For some mineral deposits, the amount of reserves of valuable components contained in them is calculated, for example, reserves of metals in ores. Mineral reserves in the bowels of the earth are measured in cubic meters(building materials, combustible gases, etc.), in tons (oil, coal, ore), in kilograms (precious metals), in carats (diamonds).

    According to the degree of reliability of the determination of reserves, they are divided into categories. In the CIS countries, as well as in former USSR, there is a classification with division into four categories: A, B, C1 and C2.

    Category A reserves are the most explored with precisely defined boundaries of occurrence and are quite prepared for extraction. Category B includes previously explored mineral reserves with approximately defined boundaries of occurrence. Category C1 includes generally explored deposits with reserves estimated using extrapolation of geological data. Category C2 includes prospective reserves discovered outside the explored parts of the deposits. As a rule, data on mineral reserves of categories A and B are used in the development of current plans and forecasts for the development of the national economy. The remaining categories of reserves (C1 and C2) are taken into account when substantiating long-term forecasts and planning exploration work.

    Mineral reserves are also divided according to their suitability for use in the national economy. on balance sheet and off-balance sheet. The balance reserves include such reserves that it is advisable to develop with modern level technology and economics; off-balance - stocks that, with the existing equipment, cannot be effectively used. There is also a category of predictive - geological reserves, estimated approximately as possible.

    The most important principle of the economic evaluation of minerals is the observance of national economic interests when choosing the optimal option for using resources. Here it is supposed, first of all, their complex development, the maximum reduction of losses during extraction and processing, compliance with environmental protection measures.

    3.3.2. Minerals of the Republic of Belarus

    Geological research intensively carried out in post-war years, refuted the previously existing idea of ​​Belarus as a country poor in mineral resources. At present, almost 5 thousand deposits, representing about 30 types of mineral raw materials, have been discovered and explored in its depths. The most important minerals, the extraction of which has the most significant impact on the country's economy, are potash and rock salts, oil, peat, building materials and raw materials for their production, underground fresh and mineral waters.

    Fuel mineral resources of Belarus include oil, oil gases, peat, brown coal and oil shale.

    A total of 52 oil fields have been taken into account, of which about 30 are being exploited, and the rest are classified as explored or mothballed. In accordance with the quantitative assessment of oil content, the initial recoverable oil resources are estimated at 338.3 million tons, the remaining reserves of industrial categories A + B + C1 - at 67.6 million tons and 8.4 billion m3 of associated gas. The availability of proven oil reserves at the level of annual production (about 2.0 million tons) is approximately 35 years. The needs of the national economy for oil are growing (up to 15.0 million tons in 2010) and the current production volumes will be able to cover them only by 10–15%.

    Peat resources significantly depleted due to intensive use in the previous stages of the economic development of Belarus. If the total predicted peat resources are estimated at 3.0 billion tons, then only 240 million tons are suitable for industrial extraction. The rest of the reserves are within nature protection zones or are part of the land fund. The annual extraction of fuel peat is about 4–5 million tons, and about the same amount of peat is extracted for agricultural needs, which provides for the needs of about 20–25 years.

    Brown coals have been discovered on the territory of the Belarusian Polissya, the predicted reserves are 1350.8 million tons. The most studied are three deposits - Zhitkovichskoye, Brinevskoye and Tonezhskoye with total reserves of 150.0 million tons. In the future, brown coal can be a real source of energy and local household fuel, as well as be used as a raw material for individual chemical industries.

    Shale deposits in the south of Belarus they form a large shale basin with an area of ​​more than 20 thousand km2. Probable reserves (up to a depth of 600 m) are estimated at 11 billion tons; the Lyubanskoye and Turovskoye deposits have been previously studied. Oil shales are considered as a potential resource

    rye base for the development of energy, the chemical industry and the production of building materials.

    Mining and chemical raw materials are represented by potash and rock salts, phosphorites, mineralized brines. Potassium salts are of the greatest economic importance, the industrial reserves of which in two explored deposits (Starobinsky and Petrikovsky) amount to 6.9 billion tons, and the predicted ones are over 80 billion tons. The Starobinskoye deposit is being developed, on the basis of which four mining departments of Belaruskali operate. The prospects of the Petrikovskoye deposit are associated with the introduction of a highly profitable technology for producing potash concentrate from salts with a high content of magnesium chloride.

    Reserves of rock salt rated as practically inexhaustible. Only at three explored deposits (Mozyrsky, Davydovsky and Starobinsky) they exceed 22 billion tons. The Mozyrsky field is being exploited, on the basis of which a salt-refining plant operates with an annual production of about 400 thousand tons of salt, and supplies of edible salt for export are expanding. Rock salt can also be used as a raw material for the production of soda ash.

    On the territory of Belarus, two phosphate-bearing basins: Sozhsky - in the east and Pripyatsky - in the south. The Sozh basin includes two previously explored deposits: Mstislavlskoye and Lobkovichskoye (forecast reserves are estimated at 30 million tons), as well as a number of promising areas. Within the Pripyat phosphorite-bearing basin, the Brest phosphorite-bearing region was identified (projected reserves of phosphorus anhydride - 52.9 million tons). It is necessary to search for phosphorite deposits with more favorable conditions of occurrence and higher quality of the ore.

    The territory of Belarus is promising for ores of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Two iron ore deposits have been discovered (Okolovskoye and Novoselkovskoye) with total reserves in category A + B + C1 - 340 million tons and predicted - 1.5 billion tons, their use will largely be determined by the solution of the fuel and energy problem in the country. Swamp iron ores are found almost everywhere, more than 300 deposits are known, until the 60s. XIX Art. local metallurgical enterprises worked for them. At present, swamp iron ores serve as raw materials for the production of mineral paints. Deposits of davsanite ores (Zaozernoe deposit) were found in the sedimentary rocks of the Pripyat trough, promising as a raw material for the production of alumina and soda ash. A deposit of rare-earth-beryllium ores has been discovered in the rocks of the crystalline basement of Belarus.

    Belarus has a fairly powerful mineral and raw material base for the production building materials. The most significant reserves of cement

    raw materials, dolomite, chalk, building and facing stone, clays for the production of rough ceramics and light aggregates, silicate and building sands, sand and gravel and other materials. At the same time, there is a shortage of glass sands and clays for the production of high-quality bricks.

    Exploration and involvement in the exploitation of mineral underground waters is expanding. 58 sources of mineral waters with total reserves of 14320.8 m3 per day have been explored, 50 sources are being developed. Mineral waters are used for the purposes of sanatorium treatment, and are also sold through the distribution network as mineral medicinal and table waters.

    Belarus is rich in mineral brines, the reserves of which within the Pripyat trough are estimated at 1830 km3, they contain 680109 tons of mineral matter. Highly mineralized brines (the rock was called "Belarusite") can serve as a raw material base for obtaining iodine, bromine, potassium, magnesium and many other elements. The project "Industrial brines of the Pripyat trough" has been developed, the implementation of which will make it possible to annually produce about 160 tons of bromine and 1.2 tons of iodine. The search for new deposits of ores of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, diamonds, gold, amber and other types of minerals is also promising.

    Natural gas is a mixture of several gases formed in the depths of the earth due to the decomposition of sedimentary organic rocks. Pure natural gas is colorless and odorless.

    Oil is a combustible oily liquid, red-brown, sometimes almost black in color, although sometimes it is also slightly colored yellow-green and even colorless oil, has a specific smell, is common in the sedimentary shell of the Earth; one of the most important minerals for mankind.

    Iron ore is a mineral formation of a natural nature, which has in its composition iron compounds accumulated in such a volume that is sufficient for its economic extraction. Of course, iron is present in all rocks. But iron ores are precisely those ferruginous compounds that are so rich in this substance that they allow the industrial extraction of metallic iron. It is used to make cast iron, which is one of the main raw materials for steel production.

    Granite (Italian granito, - grain) - Consists of quartz, potassium feldspar and micas. Granites are very widespread in the continental crust.

    Peat is a combustible mineral; formed by the accumulation of plant remains that have undergone incomplete decomposition in swamp conditions.

    Coal. Coal was the first type of fossil fuel used by man. Coal is a sedimentary rock, which is a product of deep decomposition of plant remains (ferns, horsetails and club mosses). Most coal deposits were formed approximately 300-350 million years ago.

    Limestone is a sedimentary rock of organic origin. It dissolves in water in small amounts. Decaying contributes to the formation of karst caves, as well as at great depths under the influence of the deep heat of the earth, it provides a source of gas for mineral waters.

    Clay - is a mixture of mineral materials that are products of the decay of various rocks. This is a stone, worn down by time and external influence to the state of powder. The last stage of stone evolution. Clay is the basis of pottery and brick production. Clay is everywhere.

    Geologists- people involved in the study and search for minerals.

    deposits I - places where minerals lie in the depths of the earth and on its surface.

    Career- This is an open pit with minerals.

    Mines- these are deep wells in which minerals are mined ..

    Oil is used to make gasoline

    Gas - with its help cooking dinner

    Clay - bricks are made from it

    Ore - steel is smelted from it

    Sand - children play with it

    Granite - monuments are made from it.

    Peat - it is mined in swamps

    Coal - it is mined in mines

    Salt - it is added to the soup

    Limestone - Lime is made from it

    Minerals are an invaluable treasure of our Earth. It is very important to protect and protect them. After all, the reserves of minerals on our planet are not endless. You need to use them correctly and carefully.
