Information profile @ a Glance
- Silica sands are essential raw materials
for glassmaking and a wide range of other
industrial and horticultural applications.
- An important market for silica sand was in foundry casting
- Silica sands are valued for a combination
of chemical and physical properties. These include a high silica content
in the form of quartz and, more importantly, low levels of deleterious
impurities, particularly clay, iron oxides and refractory minerals, such
as chromite
- The principal glass products using silica
sand include colourless and coloured
containers , flat glass, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, TV and
computer screens, and glass fibre, both for insulation and reinforcement
- Other uses of silica sands include enhancing
the production of oilfield reservoirs, in the production of silica flour
for use as fillers in plastics, paints and rubber sealants, and as
fluidised bed boiler sands
- Silica Sand processing involves Washing, attrition Scrubing,
Desliming, Cyclones, Hydrolizers, Sizing, Screens, Separation, spiral
processing, Magnetic separation etc depending on end uses
- Sand mining is a land degradation process, which disturbs soil
profile, spoils surface
configuration and considerably alters topography of the land.
Rehabilitation of sand mines starts with spreading, mixing and leveling
of topsoil with sand bed
