Abstract

Ovim završnim radom, izrađenim u sklopu projekta ˝MineHeritage˝, opisuje se područje Sovinjaka, te rudnik Minjera s pogonom za preradu mineralne sirovine. Rudnik se nalazi u dolini rijeke Mirne kraj Buzeta u Istri. Ruda koja se eksploatirala je piritizirani boksit. Uz podzemnu i površinsku eksploataciju, na lokalitetu se u tvornici boksit i prerađivao. Glavni proizvodi bili su alaun, vitriol, sumporna kiselina i berlinsko modrilo. To je bila prva eksploatacija boksita na svijetu. Također prvi znanstveni rad o ovoj mineralnoj sirovini nastao je na temelju analiza uzoraka iz Minjere. U novije vrijeme, ulažu se veliki napori kako bi se područje nekadašnje tvornice i rudnika zakonski zaštitilo.

Abstract (english)

This bachelor thesis, made as part of the MineHeritage project, describes area of Sovinjak, Minjera mine and related factory. This mine is located under the Sovinjak hill in the valley of Mirna river, near Buzet in Istria. The main ore exploited was pirityzed bauxite, which was mined by open-pit and underground mining. The bauxite was processed in a factory nearby. The main products were alum, vitriol, sulphuric acid and Prussian blue. This was the first exploitation of bauxite in the world. The samples taken from Minjera were used for first scientific analyses of bauxite which resulted in the first scientific publication describing this bauxite. In modern times great efforts have been made so that the area of the former factory and mine be protected by law and declared cultural heritage.
