Trends in the development of ceramic brick subindustry in the Republic of Tatarstan are characterized. The detailed characteristic of a mineral-raw material base of ceramic industry is made. It is shown that in Tatarstan for the first time among the RF regions the local white-burning clay which makes it possible to produce all-coloured brick of light tones is used. It is substantiated that the development of ceramic industry favours the positive transformation of the territory on the basis of institutionary reformation in case of coordinated actions of the state (an owner of mineral resources) and the business-structures (users of mineral resources).

Keywords: ceramic brick, mineral-raw material base, deposits, clayey brick raw materials, white-burning clay.

It is shown that the magnetic separator of cartridge type with periodical regeneration of a filter-matrix is the most efficient and handy for operation. A design of a magnetized filtering ring-shaped matrix encircling the block of magnets is presented. With the aim to define the efficiency of trapping of ferro-impurities at different distances from the source of magnetic field the character of distribution of magnetic flow is studied. Relative characteristics of changing the average induction of the field in filter-separators of ceramic suspensions of different diameters are obtained. It is shown that as moving away from the magnetic block the average induction of the field reduces, at large diameters of filter-matrix – very significantly. This should be taken into account in the course of designing apparatuses of different capacity.

Keywords: ceramic suspensions, ferro-impurities, magnetic filter-separator

Two types of drying – clay drying during the semi-dry pressing and drying of air-brick – are considered. It is shown that the design of drying drums developed by “INTA-Story” makes it possible to significantly reduce the fuel consumption in the course of raw material preparation using the semi-dry pressing technology. The comparison between the moving of a heat carrier flow in tunnel or chamber dryers with side feed of heat carrier and in the vertical dryer developed by “INTA-Story” with underfeed is made. It is concluded that the vertical dryer makes it possible to significantly improve the quality of products and reduce the cost of production.

It is shown that producing 3% of lime production Russia occupies the fourth place in the world and the first one in Europe. The ascertained data on lime production in Russia is given. It is shown that after the crisis the lime production is recovering very rapidly and in 2012 reached 11.1 million tons (according to the revised data), which is slightly below the pre-crisis level. But already in 2011 the volume of production of building lime reached the pre-crisis level, and by the end of 2012 was 113,7% comparing with the refined data for 2011. The situation at the lime market is analyzed depending on the season and region. It is concluded that within the next few years the production of building lime will leave behind the production of technological lime.

The difference in a mineralogical composition of chalk fractions consisting of coccoliths and foraminifer shells is proved by the methods of IR spectroscopy, X-ray phase, differential-thermal and chemical analyses. The presence of aragonite and dolomite even in small quantities in the structure of foraminifer shells improves their strength and hardness relative to the main coccolith component and this explains the difference in grindability of some chalk fractions.
