Phenix Enterprise - Ores And Minerals

Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts. Salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt. Salt is present in vast quantities in seawater, where it is the main mineral constituent. Phenix Enterprise processes naturally obtained Sea Salt.We process Refined Iodized Salt (Free Flow Triple Refined & Double Refined) and Raw Salt (Industrial Salt , Coarse Salt & De-icing Salt).

Quartz is the most important sand-forming mineral and occurs in very many sand types but usually not exclusively. In this sand type (which is aptly named quartz sand), quartz is almost the sole component of sand. Similar sandstones are called quartz arenites or orthoquartzites.Quartz is the most important sand-forming mineral because it is resistant to both physical and chemical weathering. Sand that is enriched in quartz is likely old (mature) and has traveled far from the source area, sometimes thousands of kilometers. Long journey is required to allow weathering to break down weaker minerals that were initially present in the rocks.We process and export high quality Quartz Sand from India.

Laterite is a soil layer that is rich in iron oxide and derived from a wide variety of rocks weathering under strongly oxidizing and leaching conditions. It forms in tropical and sub tropical regions where the climate is humid. It is a reddish weathering product of basalt. Laterites are rusty-red in color because of high iron oxide content.Laterite is well known in Asian countries as a building material for more than 1000 years. It was excavated from the soil and cut in form of large blocks.Uses and benefits of lateriteUses :Used as a building material. Strong, hardened varieties of laterite are sometimes cut into blocks and used as brickstones for building houses.Laterites are economically most important for ore deposits, such as bauxite.Hardened laterite varieties are also applied for the construction of simple roads.Nowadays solid lateritic gravel is readily put in aquaria where it favours the growth of tropical plants.In artifacts, monuments, sculpture, oil and gas reservoir, decoration etc.Laterite- cement blocks are more economical building units for walling units.Benefits:More economicalDurabilityStrengthSustainability

Fly ash is produced from the burning of pulverized coal in a coal-fired boiler. It is a fine-grained, powdery particulate material that is carried off in the flue gas and normally collected from the flue gas by means of electrostatic precipitators , baghouses, or mechanical collection devices such as cyclones.Fly ash is commonly used in production of concrete. It is applied as a supplementary cementing material. Initially the idea was to use fly ash for economical reasons on one hand to utilize fly ash which is an industrial by product, on the other to reduce the amount of costly cement. However, it appears that application of fly ash in concrete has a lot of benefits, mainly by reduction of unwanted hydration heat.Cement can be replaced with fly ash in concrete. It reacts (Si) with Ca(OH)2 and produces more CSH gel which contributes to strength. With reduced cement, hydration heat will be reduced and hence there is strength gain.Uses and benefits of fly ashUses:The most common use of fly ash is as a partial replacement for Portland cement used in producing concrete. Replacement rates normally run between 20% to 30%, but can be higher.Fly ash produced by coal-fired power plants provides an excellent prime material used in blended cement, mosaic tiles, and hollow blocks among others.Fly ash is an inexpensive replacement for Portland cement in concrete and using it improves strength, segregation and ease.Fly ash can be used as prime material in blocks, paving or bricks; however, one of the most important applications is PCC pavement. PCC pavements use a large amount of concrete and substituting fly ash provides significant economic benefits. Fly ash has also been used for paving roads and as embankment and mine fills, and its gaining acceptance by the government , specifically the Highway Administration.Fly ash reacts as a pozzolan with the lime in cement as it hydrates, creating more of the durable binder that holds concrete together

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants as energy is the most common carbohydrate in human diets and is contained in large amounts in staple foods like Potatoes, Maize (Corn), Rice, and Cassava.We manufacture and export different kinds of Edible & Drilling Starches (Potato Starch, Corn / Maize Starch).
