Mica is with lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, vanadium and other metal elements and water with layer structure of aluminum silicate group minerals general. Include muscovite, biotite, phlogopite, lepidolite, etc.. Industrial application of mica minerals are muscovite and phlogopite mica and broken pieces of mica and sericite, muscovite is used frequently, followed by phlogopite. Since mica has a high electrical insulation, good transparency, excellent points of peelable, high chemical stability, good high-temperature reducing and maintaining the good state of physical and chemical properties, which It is a very important mainly as insulation material widely used in electronic, electrical, telecommunications, electronics, aviation, transportation, instrumentation, metallurgy, building materials, light industry and other industrial sectors, as well as national defense and cutting-edge industries. Since the 70s, due to the capacitor, the motor insulation and dielectric materials supporting material, the use of chip mica has been made from the crushed mica in the mica paper as raw materials replaced by the vast majority of communication tube has been replaced by semiconductor integrated circuits caused a fundamental change in consumption structure, thus making a significant decline in demand for film mica, while the growing demand for crushed mica. With the development of science and technology in recent years, mica minerals in building materials, geological exploration, lubricants, paints, food, cosmetics and other applications continue to expand, broken mica and sericite mineral raw materials will have broad application prospects.
Chemical Composition: Muscovite chemical formula KAl2 (AlSi3O10) (OH) 2; magnesium phengite chemical formula (Fe2 +, M g) (Fe3 +, Al3 +) (AlSi7O20) (OH) 4; sericite chemical formula KAl2 (Si, Al ) 4O10 (OH, F) 2; gold mica chemical formula KMg3 (AlSi3O10) (F, OH) 2 aluminum silicate mineral mica that has a continuous layered silicate structure, with very full of cleavage, may The thin strip is flexible, quality soft flexible, transparent and colorless, with a thick block of translucent gray, brown, light green, rose red, with glass to silk or pearl luster, hardness 2.5 to 3, the proportion of 2.75 to 3.0 acid resistance.
