To the question of studying the structure and properties of basalt of the Dalian field(People's Republic of China) for receiving fusion in the arc way with production of fiber

The results of petrological and chemical study of basaltic rocks of Dalian China field with the aim of further melting in the electromagnetic arc reactor to produce melt and fibrous materials based on it are presented. To obtain the melt basalt crushed stone with particle of 7-10 mm size was used. Microscopic study of raw materials made it possible to conduct precise studies of basalt and the fiber derived from it. It has been shown that basalt from Dalian field represents the raw material to be classified as "enriched" ferroelecric basaltoids with their characteristic high content of iron, alkali, and phosphorus. The micro-relief of the basalt indicated the significance of metamorphic changes having bead to the predominance of secondary structures of substitution developed in the primary phase. Presented electromagnetic arc melting unit allowed to smoothly adjust the temperature and maintain it at the exit of the jet from the tap hole, which gave the opportunity to reduce energy consumption to obtain melt and produce fiber.
