Refinement of High-Purity Quartz from Igneous Rocks for Advanced Material Applications

This research explores the refinement of high-purity quartz from various igneous rocks, focusing on its role in producing high-end products like silica glasses, optical lenses, and light bulbs. Key analytical methods such as LA-ICP-MS are utilized to assess trace elements and their abundances in the quartz. The study provides insight into how igneous differentiation influences quartz composition and its potential applications in the production of solar-grade silica and other materials used in advanced technologies.

  1. Igneous refinement of quartz raw materials Rune B. Larsen Francois Jacamon Bjorn Eske Sorensen Norwegian University of Science and Technology Peter M. Ihlen Axel Müller Geological Survey of Norway • High purity quartz • High end products • Silica glasses • Optical lenses, light bulbs • Fibres,insulators • Polycrystalline silica • Solar grade silica (?)

  2. Trace elements in qz, which, where and why ? • Typical abundance in igneous quartz • Analytical approach • Melt composition, igneous evolution qz-comp. • Subsolidus modification

  3. LA-ICP-MS is the preferred analytical method Al: <10 – 1000 Ti: <1 – 200 Li: <1 – 30 P: <1 – 30 K: <5 – 20(?) Fe: <1 – 20 B: <1 – 10(?)

  12. Igneous differentiation form quartz with low Ti, Fe, K and B contents. Ge and Li is increasing. P and Al may also increase Peraluminous granites, form qz with high Al contents. Evolved metaluminous granitic qz is low in this element Largely, the quartz composition is buffered by the melt composition Li, B, Al and Fe is lowered during hydrothermal recrystallization K is not seriously influenced. The Na concentration may increase markedly Ti, Ge and P are normally immobile during recrystallization Qz is quite robust during subsolidus weathering and may largely preserve igneous fingerprint Accordingly, qz partially preserve the igneous history and distinguish magmatic events in igneous complex terrains Granitic pegmatite, particularly metaluminous and hydrothermally infiltrated GP’s are promising targets for HPQ prospecting GSA, Salt Lake City, 2005, Rune B. larsen
