Technical Knowledge & Expert FAQ

Q1: What is the typical chemical composition of quartz sand?

A1: The composition is mainly SiO₂ (≥ 99.30%) with trace elements (e.g., Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, CaO), influencing color and industrial suitability.
[See: ScienceDirect – Quartz Sandstone]

Q2: How does ground quartz sand differ from natural quartz sand?

A2: Ground quartz sand is mechanically processed for precise particle size and shape, maximizing performance in casting, coatings, and ceramics.

Q3: What are common mesh sizes available for industrial quartz sand?

A3: Sizes often range from 16–200 mesh (80–800 μm), custom-tailored for end-use such as glass, construction, or electronics.

Q4: What installation standards apply to quartz sand in water treatment?

A4: Quartz sand filters follow NSF/ANSI 61 & AWWA B100, ensuring cleanliness, uniformity coefficient (<1.5), and absence of organic content.

Q5: How is silica purity measured in industrial applications?

A5: Purity is analyzed with XRF (X-ray fluorescence) or ICP-OES, assessing major and minor oxides to meet industrial quartz sand specs.

Q6: What roles do SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ content play in quartz sand suitability?

A6: High SiO₂ ensures clarity and melting point, while ultra-low Fe₂O₃ is essential for electronics and white glass to avoid coloration and conductivity.

Q7: What is the main difference between industrial quartz sand and foundry-grade quartz sand?

A7: Industrial grade emphasizes ultra-high purity and particle uniformity, while foundry grade prioritizes certain granulometries and thermal stability for molding.
