Potencialidades dos depósitos pegmatíticos de quartzo e de feldspato em Portugal

Abstract

O principal objectivo deste trabalho consiste em caracterizar e avaliar as potencialidades dos quartzos e feldspatos provenientes de pegmatitos, tendo em conta a especificidade dos diferentes mercados a que se destinam e a crescente procura que se tem vindo a registar relativamente àquelas matériasprimas. Nesse sentido, essas matérias caracterizaram-se sob os pontos de vista químico e mineralógico, porque estes são os mais limitadores relativamente às aplicações industriais. Contudo, também se incluiu neste trabalho a caracterização geológica dos depósitos pegmatíticos, as ocorrências geológicas de quartzo e feldspato nacionais, uma selecção dos métodos de prospecção e pesquisa susceptíveis de aplicação nestes depósitos, a definição de métodos de extracção e tecnologias de tratamento a aplicar, a caracterização das produções e mercados do quartzo e feldspato, nacionais e estrangeiros, a definição de áreas e respectivos enquadramentos geográfico e geológico, com potencial para a exploração e produção daqueles materiais, as técnicas de análise, química e mineralógica, adequadas à caracterização dos materiais pegmatíticos, uma avaliação das possíveis aplicações dos materiais, rochosos ou não rochosos, associados às formações pegmatíticas numa óptica de exploração integral, uma abordagem económica função da paragénese dos depósitos em estudo e, por último, a definição de possíveis aplicações industriais para os quartzos e feldspatos aqui ensaiados. Foram seleccionadas áreas geográficas onde a ocorrência de quartzo e feldspato proveniente de depósitos pegmatíticos é mais frequente, tais como os distritos de Braga, Viseu, Guarda, Castelo Branco e Évora.

The main aim of this work is to characterize and evaluate the potentialities of the quartz and feldspar extracted from pegmatite, taking into account the specificity of the different markets they are destined for and the growing demand for these raw materials. To this end, these materials are characterized chemically and mineralogically, since these aspects are the most restrictive when it comes to industrial applications. Furthermore, this research also covers the geological characterization of the pegmatitic deposits; the geological occurrences of national quartz and feldspar; a selection of prospecting and research methods that can be applied to these deposits; the definition of extraction methods and processing technologies to be applied; the characterization of national and international quartz and feldspar productions and markets; the definition of areas and the corresponding geographical and geological settings, with the potential for the mining and production of these materials; the most appropriate analysis techniques, both chemical and mineralogical, when classifying pegmatitic deposits; an evaluation of the possible applications for the materials, rocky and non-rocky, associated with pegmatitic formations, from a full-mining perspective; an economic approach with regard to the paragenesis of the deposits at hand; and, finally, the definition of the possible industrial applications for the quartzes and feldspars here tested. The geographical areas were selected based on the most common occurrence of pegmatitic quartz and feldspar, like the districts of Braga, Viseu, Guarda, Castelo Branco and Évora.
