Abstract
Quartzite from Antonovsk group of fields, located in Western Siberia, Russian Federation were studied as a source of high-purity quartz by FT-IR method. Quartzites are sedimentary–metamorphic rocks, the products of lithification in the early metagenesis condition of quartz-hydromica-sericite facies. Due to the metamorphism of siliceous-biogenetic stratum, initially amorphous silica was crystallized. The cleanest quartzite can be displayed for their genetic trait by the determination of crystallinity index. The increasing quartzite crystallinity indices are caused by metamorphic overprint. Crystalline phase of α-quartz was determined by the presence of double peak 797–778 cm−1 of IR-sorption, which can wiggle Si–O–Si bonds in quartz. All in all, it was determined that the cleanest quartzite diversities have the lowest crystallinity index.
