Deep-mined quartz raw materials used in the TechniStone® technological process
Technistone, a.s. processes mineral raw materials based on silica and various silicates for its production of hardened stone in Hradec Králové. A significant part of these quartz raw materials is mined in a deep way by Minerali Industriali. As part of the project in the TRIO research and development support program of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, project number: FV30114, the use of a new white silica raw material, mined in Scotland but finally modified for processing in Technistone by the domestic company Czech Silicat, was designed and verified. Another European quartz deposit deep-mined in Sondalo, Italy, is also described here.
