BASALT POWDER

Basalt is a magnesium-rich primitive rock containing also Silicon, Iron and Calcium and Trace minerals. It is a natural product, environmentally friendly with no elutriation/leaching into ground water. It is also non-toxic and safe to aquatic animals and plant-life.

We are fortunate to have an excellent supply of raw basalt rock which we dry, crush and screen into various grades for a number of different industries at our factory in Cape Verde. Basalt is a hard, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, and often having a glassy appearance. Basalt can be used in manufacturing and made into fine, superfine and ultra fine fibers.

APPLICATION OF BASALT POWDER IN AGRICULTURE

The origin of the Earth, the endogenous and exogenous phenomena acting throughout its tumultuous history, the dynamic processes of formation and transformation of rocks and the interaction of these factors with all other elements of nature constitute the most fascinating themes in which the whole powerful and creative human mind is concentrated.

Intense and extensive volcanic manifestations have developed in the past, originating the basaltic rocks. Among geological phenomena, volcanic eruptions are probably the natural process that most arouses the attention of scientists, researchers and society in general, by its magnitude, scope and effects, generally with a great and dramatic impact across the whole society. The basaltic rocks, characterized as effusive igneous rocks, that is, rocks formed as a result of the cooling and crystallization of extensive masses of lava, which have abundantly spilled over the surface of the earth, constitute more than 90% of the land of Cape Verde.

Basaltic magma originates in the depths of the earth's crust, probably at the interface between the mantle and the earth's crust. Upon reaching the surface, it overflows in extensive spills of an incandescent material, around 1000 � C, already in process of cooling. This process of cooling and solidification, although relatively slow, can be significantly accelerated when basaltic magma is submerged in extensive bodies of water, as is the case of Cape Verde because it consists of volcanic islands in the middle of the ocean.

Although it has been the subject of long and in-depth studies over many decades, this precious fruit of nature, for its wide application in the most varied areas, is, perhaps, one of Cape Verde's greatest economic riches, but the general public is little aware of the economic potential of this precious raw material.

Indeed, in addition to the common application of basalt derivatives in the building and public works sector, both as a building and decoration element, basalt finds many other fields of application, namely in agriculture through its use as fertilizer and as soil corrector element, thus contributing to reducing production costs and dependence on chemical inputs that entail high environmental costs.

Cape Verde, being a country privileged by nature, has important reserves of basalt in quantity and quality. Therefore, if its exploitation is carried out in a way that minimizes environmental impact, basalt could be a net contributor to anchor the development not only of Cape Verde but also of many friendly nations, which depend on the import of these products to the development of their basic infrastructures, essential to their economic and social development.

Inserted in a dynamic of worldwide initiatives and actions in favour of the environment, the possible contribution of one of the by-products of basalt thus assumes particular relevance in the reduction of the human ecological footprint but also in the context of nutrition and human consumption: it is therefore the application of basalt powder in agriculture.

The continued use of chemical fertilisers, traditionally used in agriculture, not only impoverishes the soil but also has a very high environmental price. On the contrary, the basalt powder enriches the soil with nutrients, as it contains in its composition dozens of elements that promote the development of plants.

In fact, basalt powder is an alternative fertiliser to traditional chemical fertilisers, which, as is well known, have several drawbacks, namely soil quality degradation, groundwater and air pollution, as well as pest resistance in plants.

Basalt, despite being one of the main endogenous riches of Cape Verde, is still little used as such. This precious raw material finds a wide field of industrial application with high potential, namely in the industries mentioned above, but very in particular as fertiliser for Agriculture and soil pH correction.

In the industrial field, for example, basalt wool is produced by the melting of the basaltic rock at high temperatures, typically at 1450 � C, and is subsequently transformed into fibres by a centrifuging process. These fibres have excellent chemical and thermal resistance, besides having low thermal conductivity associated to a perfect acoustic absorption. Basalt fibres with 9 to 11 microns are widely used in acoustical insulation of cars, stoves and other equipment where the cost-benefit ratio of thermal and acoustic insulation is relevant, such as in the automotive, aeronautics and aerospace industries, or in the home comfort.

The consumption index of rock-derived aggregates measures the level of development of the Nations, being reflected directly in the level of development of the infrastructures in each Country. This is evidenced by the per capita consumption index of the countries which oscillates between 3 and 18 tonnes, depending on the level of development of each country. For example, the average per capita consumption index of rock-derived aggregates is around 18 tonnes in Canada, 7.5 tonnes in the United States, 8 tonnes in European Union and 3 tonnes in developing countries.

THE MAIN CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS OF BASALT

Silicates:

Silicates are necessary in building plant protein and in the synthesis of certain vitamins in plants. Silicates function as a vital element in protecting plants against insects and fungi attack, strengthening qualities and have been found to influence other minerals useful in plant metabolism.

Calcium:
Plants need calcium for normal cell division, as a component of cell walls, as a component of the salts inside the cells and as a part of the genetic coding materials.

Magnesium:
Magnesium is a key component of the chlorophylls, the green coloured cells in the plant. It is therefore vital as chlorophylls are the cells which perform photosynthesis. Also, plants need magnesium before thay can make use of phosphorous and magnesium also activates several different enzyme systems.

Iron:
Iron is a constitutent of many compounds in plants that regulates and promotes growth. It is especially important to the function of chloroplasts, the plant cells that contain chlorophyll, which are the particles that perform photosynthesis.

Potassium:
Potassium strengthens plant stalks and helps undo the stress induced by excess nitrogen.

Phosphorus:
Phosphorus is the �Go� food for plants.

Trace Minerals:
Basalt powder contains dozens of macro and micronutrients (such as copper, zinc, molybdenum, etc.) to replace depleted minerals and elements. The absence of these nutrients significantly affects plant growth.

As a soil remineralisation product, Basalt Powder:
� Causes phenominal growth of micro-organisms in the soil.
� Raises the moisture and nutrient storage capacity of the soil.
� Makes mineral nutrients readily available, increasing their intake by plants.
� Provides sustained-release properties.
� Counters the effects of soil acidity [pH].
� Reduces soil erosion.
� Contributes to the building of humus complexes.
� Improves resistance to insects, disease, fungus, frost and drought.

Basalt powder can be supplied in small quantities for gardening or in large quantities for intensive and extensive farming.

THE BASALT FIBER

Basalt is a mineral of volcanic origin, dark or black. It is a heavy, tenacious and resilient rock. Its density is approximately 5% higher than that of glass.

Basalt fiber results from the treatment of basaltic rock, composed of minerals such as plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine. As a by-product of basalt's own casting process (single ingredient used in fiber production), basalt fiber is of superior quality to other known fibers for thermal stability, heat and sound insulation, vibration, durability and lightness, that is, in a summary form, it can be said that basalt fiber is a type of fiber with better performance with regard to the physical-mechanical properties.

Basalt fiber has recently developed compared to the traditional fibers used in the manufacture of polymer composites, such as glass fiber, carbon fiber and aramid. Its strength and modulus properties are located between those recorded by the E-glass fiber and S-glass fiber. In addition, they have a higher working temperature, good chemical and impact resistance, corrosion resistance and less release of gases in the burning. �

The low price of basalt fiber, which may be lower than that of fiberglass-E, justifies the increasing use of this fiber. For these reasons, basalt fiber is increasingly used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of pressure vessels, cylinders, profiles, automotive parts, wind turbines, reinforcing concrete structures, fireproof textile material (in aerospace and automotive industries), marine applications, military industry, aerospace industry, and various other products and fields of application. �

The use of basalt in the manufacture of composite materials has many unparalleled advantages. This results in the use of composites to optimize the properties of materials, including mechanical, chemical and physical properties, as well as thermal, electrical, optical and acoustic properties. Due to its high strength and lightness, resulting from the physico-mechanical properties of basalt fiber, the composite materials thus have a wide field of industrial application.

NATURAL SAND SUPPLY

The choice of the fine aggregate, whether produced by the crushing process or natural sand, can significantly affect the properties of concrete construction works, influencing the ease of handling, the concrete pumping capacity and the overall quality of buildings.

Natural sand has the ideal shape for application as a fine aggregate in concrete. The natural sand particles are well rounded and generally almost spherical. Spherical particles reduce the percentage of voids in concrete mixtures, so no additional product will be needed to fill these voids, which in reality will practically not exist. Well-formed natural sand, as is the case of the river sand, takes on this spherical shape due to the long course of the river flow and is therefore the ideal sand for the mixing process in concrete or mortar. Natural sand requires no more water compared to manufactured sand to improve the mixing process, so the amount of water consumed in the concrete or mortar is not increased.

The manufactured sand or the manufactured fine aggregate is produced by the process of crushing of blocks of rock of varied dimensions, going through several stages of transformation until obtaining the desired fine sand. In the specific case of Cape Verde with basalt as the dominant rock which, due to its hardness and abrasiveness makes its transformation into sand with a coefficient of shape close to that of natural sand economically unfeasible; the cost of the product would be unacceptable for the general final consumers of these products. Manufactured sand tends to be used in mixtures in places where natural sand is unavailable, as is the case in Cape Verde, where for several decades populations withdraw natural sand from seashore and stream beds, making this activity their way of life. This calls into question both the environment and agricultural activity in the most fertile areas of the country which are precisely not far from the seafront, causing contamination of agricultural plantations by the infiltration of salt water from the sea and undermines leisure spaces and seaside resorts for tourists, and Cape Verde is a country whose economy is fundamentally based on tourism.

On the other hand, the application of salt sand to the construction in Cape Verde has also had other important collateral damages in the construction industry because the salt erodes the iron structures used in the construction. This has huge economic consequences for the country.

The distance between the natural sand extraction site and its storage site for final consumption has a decisive impact on the economic sustainability of this operation. The manufactured fine aggregate tends to be more angular and scaly due to the mechanical crushing process. Being highly angular particles and sharp corners, it is necessary to add new elements to the concrete to eliminate the porosity in the constructions and consequently the infiltration of water with all its consequences for the conservation of the buildings.

In the search for alternative internal sources of natural sand for construction in Cape Verde over several decades, the populations generally engaged in the extraction of sand on the seafront as a subsistence activity, which caused the total or partial destruction of numerous tourist beaches as well as generating serious consequences for the environment and for agriculture.
