Basalt is a common extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava. It is a dense and hard rock that makes it suitable for a wide range of construction applications, such as building materials, road construction, and landscaping.
Basalt crushing and processing
The process of basalt crushing and processing involves several stages, including primary crushing, secondary crushing, and screening. The basalt is first crushed by the primary jaw crusher and then transported to the secondary cone crusher for further crushing. After the secondary crushing, the materials are screened by a vibrating screen to separate different sizes of stones. The smaller stones are sent to the sand making machine for further processing, while the larger stones are sent back to the cone crusher for further crushing.
During the crushing process, a significant amount of dust and fine particles may be generated, which can be harmful to human health and the environment. Therefore, dust control measures should be implemented during the crushing and screening process. The use of water sprays and dust suppression systems can help to reduce the amount of dust generated during the process.
Applications
Basalt is widely used in many industries, basalt is the best stone materials used to repair roads, railways, airport runways, basalt is of strong compression, low crushing value, corrosion resistance, adhesion of asphalt basalt stone, basalt stone resistant grinding, draft less poor conductivity, compression resistance, corrosion resistance, adhesion of asphalt, etc., and it is internationally recognized as the development of rail transport and road transport best cornerstone.
Basalt is a very good building decoration material, basalt is a good raw material of “cast stone”, which formats a new material more corrosion-resistant than lead and rubber; basalt can also be casted in one kind of advanced process, act as a “lubricant” role; and basalt can also be pumped into the basalt glass, basalt glass has strong resistant alkaline, high temperature performance , compared with ordinary glass.
