Conceptual phase of life cycle of innovation material - synthetic wollastonite

For achievement of modern technological level of economy development in our country the priority has to be given to development on the basis of innovations. This strategy results from the analysis of the long waves theory in national economy. At this stage development and realization of mechanisms of new knowledge transformation in high technologies and further to mass production is being predicted. According to it, modern postindustrial stage differs from the previous one by base creation for national innovative system (NIS) development, and according to the logic it is necessary to call it "innovative economy". For different innovations the structure of the first phase of the life cycle of an innovation varies due to the stages number necessary for determination of innovation advantages. For the innovation characteristic economists identify the first phase of the life cycle as a stage of strategic marketing, which is important for a more exact determination of market demand for these goods. However, many aspects of innovative management at this stage remain variable. Considering the strategic concepts of management and proceeding from our experience, we suggest a new phase to be called the conceptual phase of the life cycle of knowledge-intensive materials with allocation of four logically connected stages: 1) strategic marketing of an innovation, 2) basic researches, 3) scientifically-applied researches, 4) developmental projects. In the concept realization of sustainable development problems of complex waste-free use of natural resources and involvement of industrial wastes in environmentally friendly innovative technologies become topical. The amount of technogenic industrial wastes has been growing for the last hundred years. Annually the world forms over 25 billion tons of solid technogenic waste solely. About a third part of it - more than 7 billion tons - is produced in Russia. One of the perspective directions of innovative process is the full processing of industrial wastes including extraction from them of non-ferrous, rare and other metals, and creation of construction and constructional materials with high operational properties instead of natural, traditional materials and metals. Realization of this strategy will allow to reduce the consumption of primary natural resources significantly. Development of new high technology production of a number of important minerals in the practical relation and materials is an original revolution in mineralogy and materials science. Wollastonite is a mineral of high demand in leading industries. The British society on studying ceramics declared that ''if cheap synthetic wollastonite appears in the near future ''wollastonite era'' will come''. Research Laboratory of Cybernetics and Mineral Formation and Crystal Physics of Tomsk State University has offered a new approach to studying the problems of structuring a substance-holographic model, which allowed us to propose a number of forecasting schemes revealing the mechanisms of natural and technical mineral genesis, including in relation to new methods and technologies for the production of wollastonite and other silicates with promising properties. Competitiveness of synthetic wollastonite, expanding the scope in the local market through a number of advantages over the natural wollastonite and other materials used in the construction industry has been shown (asbestos, talc).
