RT Journal Article T1 Los depósitos minerales de pirofilita de Villa Unión (Rioja Argentina) y sus posibles aplicaciones en cerámica y vidrio T1 The pyrophillite from Villa Union, Rioja, Argentina and its applications for the production of ceramics and glasses A1 Fiscina, J. A1 Malachevsky, M. T. A1 Jordán, M. M. A1 San Feliú, T. A1 Rincón, J. M. A1 Romero, M. AB The pyrophillite and sericite from the Mining District of Villa Union , Rioja, in Argentina arew eelknown because they are a wide area of metamorphic rocks, Precambric or Paleozoic, well distributed and communicated at approx. 20 km from National Roads. Nowadays, two ores with different mixtures of: pyrophillite + kaolinite + quartz ( white and brilliant ) and other constituted by sericite ( schist aspect and silk b r i l l i a n t ) are being exploted. In o rd e r to define the applications as ra w materials fo r ceramics and glasses production, a full characterization of the Vicchi and San Lorenzo Mines materials are being carried out. Several ceramics, traditional and advanced, are being obtained and materials characterized for best define the applications of this argentinian raw materials. It has been demonstrated the obtention of ceramics based on cordierite and/ or leucite by formulating ceramic bodies from this pyrophiiiite products PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1996 FD 1996 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13303 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13303 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 15 jun 2026
