The results of studying the material composition of the ore sample by chemical, mineralogical, and granulometric analyses are presented. Based on the study of the material composition of zeolite sample, as well as the analysis of literary sources, gravity methods, electromagnetic separation and pyrometallurgy have been used to beneficate the zeolite. Based on the results of complete chemical analysis of the average sample, it has been determined that the bulk of the ore consists of the following components, %: 49.12 SiO2; 30.14 Al2O3; 4.12 Fe2O3; 6.12 CaO. The granulometric characteristics of a sample of ore crushed to a fineness class of –3+0 mm have been studied. The analysis of the obtained results has revealed an increase in the distribution of Al2O3 in large size classes, which reaches 23.1–37.7%. When enriching the zeolite sample on the concentration table, the best indicators have been obtained at the ore grinding coarseness –1+0 mm. The use of dry electromagnetic separation at a current of 5A has made it possible to obtain magnetic and non-magnetic fractions. The yield of the nonmagnetic fraction is 78.5%, and the magnetic fraction is 21.5%. It has been found that electromagnetic separation of the zeolite sample can remove 93.4% of free iron-containing minerals (from the operation). As a result of laboratory technological studies, zeolite concentrate according to TU 2163-001-27860096–2016 “Activated zeolite” has been obtained, which can be used to purify oil from harmful components in the development of drilling fluids, and in wastewater treatment for the disposal of chemical solutions.
