<p>This study presents the chemical and mineralogical characterization of hematite from the Kyzyltash deposit, both prior to and following calcination. Methods for its beneficiation were selected. Red and brown pigments were synthesized, and their phase composition and microstructure were subsequently analyzed using x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. An investigation was conducted into the coloring properties of the obtained red and brown pigments. The results indicate that hematite from the Kyzyltash deposit can be used as a raw material component in the production of ceramic glazes and color pigments at construction material enterprises in Uzbekistan.</p>
