Silica Sand / Quartz Sand
Silica sand, also well known as Quartz Sand. It was got from the broken and ground Silica Stone / Quartz Stone. Quartz stone is a non-metallic mineral, a hard, wearable, chemical properties, and stability of silicate minerals, the main mineral composition is SiO2. Quartz sand is an important industrial mineral raw materials, non-chemical dangerous goods, widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and fireproof materials, smelting ferrosilicon, metallurgical flux, metallurgy, construction, chemical, plastics, rubber, abrasive, filter and other industries.
High Purity Quartz Sand
High purity quartz sand is also named as silica sand, silica powder, and silica dioxide powder.

Quartz Sand Products
Silica Sand Manufacturing Process
Quartz Stone Crushing
- Firstly, quartz stone raw material will be sent into a jaw crusher for coarse crushing.
- And then, the crushed stones will be sent into sand making machine for further crushing and product shaping.
- The unqualified particle size will be re-sent into the crusher for further processing until they reach the standard.
Sand Washing
The finished particle size which meet the standard will be sent into sand washing machine for cleaning.
Scrubbing
Scrubbing is to remove the thin iron and muddy impurities on the surface of silica sand by mechanical force and the abrasive force between the sand grains and to further grind the unconsolidated mineral aggregates.
Purify Process
The composition of silica sand is complex, except for the iron-bearing minerals, there are often mica, feldspar, and clay minerals. Some impurities in silica sand, such as feldspar and mica, which cannot be removed by magnetic separation, but can be separated by different collectors. In general, the purity of silica sand can be increased to 99% after scrubbing, desliming, magnetic separation, and flotation.
