<strong>Uses</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Specification</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Silica</strong> S<strong>and</strong><br />

The chemical, physical <strong>and</strong> mineralogical specifications <strong>of</strong> many industrial s<strong>and</strong> products are<br />

outlined in this report. Most <strong>of</strong> the specifications concern high purity silica s<strong>and</strong> used as a raw<br />

material for the manufacture <strong>of</strong> glass, silicon carbide, <strong>and</strong> soluble silicates for the chemical<br />

industry, <strong>and</strong> for moulding s<strong>and</strong>, hydraulic fracturing s<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> filter s<strong>and</strong>. Quality<br />

requirements for s<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> lesser purity used for special purposes such as s<strong>and</strong>blasting, abrasives,<br />

<strong>and</strong> building products also are given. The specifications were obtained from consultants, plant<br />

operators, <strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong> producers across Canada, <strong>and</strong> from published works on the subject.<br />

Essential component <strong>of</strong> materials which have an abundance <strong>of</strong> uses in industry <strong>and</strong> are a vital<br />

component in many things used in our everyday lives. It is impossible to imagine houses<br />

without bricks, mortar or windows, cars without engines or windscreens, life without roads or<br />

other Quartz manufacturers in India <strong>and</strong> everyday items <strong>of</strong> glass <strong>and</strong> pottery.<br />

Crystalline silica is also irreplaceable in a series <strong>of</strong> high-tech applications, for example in optical<br />

data transmission fibers <strong>and</strong> precision casting. It is also used in the metallurgical industry as the<br />

raw material for silicon metal <strong>and</strong> ferrosilicon production. Another specialized application is in<br />

the oil extraction. Altogether there are hundreds <strong>of</strong> applications <strong>of</strong> industrial silica in our daily<br />

life. <strong>Silica</strong> products have becomes so obvious to us that we don’t even know they are being<br />

applied.<br />

<strong>Silica</strong> occurs in three main crystalline forms. The principal occurrence is as the mineral quartz<br />

but it also occurs in other rarer mineral forms known as tridymite <strong>and</strong> cristobalite. It is a very<br />

durable mineral resistant to heat <strong>and</strong> chemical attack <strong>and</strong> it is these properties that have made<br />

it industrially interesting to man. Palash Minerals are deal best in <strong>Silica</strong> S<strong>and</strong> Manufacturers in<br />

India.<br />
