Vitreous and Glass Ceramic Materials Based on Glauconite-Bearing Rocks.

The possibility of using glauconite-bearing sedimentary rocks from Belarus in the form of glauconite sand and concentrated glauconite as aluminosilicate materials is established. The main physicochemical properties of the synthesized materials are identified, and the color characteristics of glasses and formation specifics of the structure and phase composition of glaze coatings and glass ceramic materials are investigated.
