Description

Based on an analysis of the prospects for using the resource base of the Zavalivsky deposit, the ways of rational use of raw materials in the development of graphite deposits in Ukraine are considered.The important component of the rational of Zavalivsky graphite deposit is the integrated using of its raw materials: (1) in terms of technical characteristics, the garnet concentrate of Zavalivsky graphite deposit is not inferior to the world producers pomegranates; (2) the plant does not sell all mass of the overburden rock formations for building stone production, as it is possible; (3) the overburden sands, clays and loam are characterized by high technological indices and need the economic feasibility studying of their selective development; (4) graphite ore flotation tailings need further study for using in the building materials and glass industries; (5) the using of mineral pigments (ocher, seladonite) is possible with selective extraction, special separate storage and development of technology of enrichment and preparation for further use; (6) jasper, chalcedony and opal specimens of Zavalivsky graphite deposit have high decorative, textural and consumer characteristics and are suitable for the production of various jewelry and decorative items; (7) among the host rocks of Zavalivsky graphite deposit there are veins of unique, rare in the world mineral – grautite, mineralogical interest is the presence of barite, horsex, pyrite, galena, clusters of coarse-grained graphite, etc. The collection and sale of their specimens as a collection material, the organization of mineralogical excursions can also have some economic effect. The introduction of rational methods of exploitation and integrated using of raw materials of Ukrainian Shield graphite deposites will allow to consider this objects as strategically important for the economy.
