Quartz sand can also be used in other industries, such as metallurgical industry, refractory material manufacturing industry, plastic industry, abrasive industry, rubber manufacturing industry, chemical industry, construction industry, etc.
In glass manufacturing, the raw materials used in float glass manufacturing are sea sand, mica sandstone powder, soda, and calcite. They are prepared according to a certain proportion. Then the glass is melted at high temperature and processed. It can be seen that quartz sand plays an important role in glass making. Silicide is needed in the manufacture of ceramics, and the silicide is obtained from quartz sand. Silicide is also an important refractory so quartz sand can be used in the manufacture of refractories.
Silicides are also useful in metallurgy, construction, and chemical industries. Silicides can be used as additives or raw materials in the metallurgical industry, as well as in building concrete, road materials, and cementitious materials. In the chemical industry, it is mainly used as raw materials such as sodium silicate.
Quartz sand can be used not only in the above industries but also in two industries with high-tech content. For example, the aerospace industry and the electronics manufacturing industry, the silicon obtained by the purification of quartz sand grinded by Raymond mill is an important aerospace industry material, so its economic value and scientific and technological value are very high.
