Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of changes in the chemical composition of the rock at the Dzherdanak deposit on its phase composition and thermal properties. Samples from different points of the deposit were studied by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and thermography. The study of the chemical and mineralogical composition of various samples of shale from the Dzherdanak deposit showed that the main components can be sericite/muscovite type hydromica, kaolinite, and quartz. Halloysite is often present, less often sillimanite. Individual features of shale samples from the Dzherdanak deposit show the complex nature of rock structural transformations under thermal exposure. A common property of all varieties of shale is the final phase composition of samples fired at 1400 °C, consisting of mullite, quartz and cristobalite.
