Physicochemical Modeling and Modification of the Composition of Magmatic and Metamorphic Rocks: Diorites

Resumo

This paper presents general data on the diorite family: intermediate plutonic rocks in the normally and low alkaline rock subclass. Using quartz diorite from the Altai Mountains as an example, we analyze the feasibility of using methods developed at the Kurnakov Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, for modifying the composition of magmatic and metamorphic rocks for mineral fiber fabrication and stone casting.
