silica/Quartz Sand is processed from the high quality silica stone, through the process of coarse crushing, roasting, fine crushing, acid treatment, water washing, drying and sieving etc.
Natural quartz sand are classified into shore sand and sand mountain.Quartz sand is mostly with impurity or mixtures, so generally it should treat differently when handling various mines .According to the content and particle size composition of Fe2O3, Al2O3, Cr2o3, of Tio2, grades are defined. silica and quartz sand can also make quartz sand after the crushing process, they are the main raw materials of glass industry.
Adventages:
1) High quality and purity with low iron content, high electrical resistivity
2) Low hardness & Crossion-resistant
3) Acid-resistant, alkli-resistant, anti-corrosive, anti- acid and anti –alkali
Applications:
We can provide 8-12mesh, 12-20mesh, 20-40mesh,
40-80mesh, 80-100mesh, 100-120mesh
silica/quartz sand.
Silica Sand/Quarzt Sand is one of the most common varieties of sand found in the world. It is used for a wide range of applications, and can be purchased from wide suppliers in China.
Sand is the general term for broken down granules of minerals or rocks, technically between about one-sixteenth of a millimeter to two millimeters in diameter, falling between silt and gravel in the range of sizes. There are many varieties of sand in the world, each with their own unique composition and qualities.
The most common mineral in the Earth’s continental crust is quartz, and most silica sand is made up of broken down quartz crystals. Silica is another name for silicon dioxide, SiO2, of which quartz is a specific latticed structure. So silica sand is quartz that over the years, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. These granules can be used for many different purposes, and can be found in most non-tropical regions of the world.
