Silica sand purification processing. The silica sand process includes several processing steps, including scrubbing, magnetic, and gravity separation to remove mineral impurities from the raw quartz sand and …

Method 1: Gravity separation. Due to the difference in density between quartz ore particles and gangue mineral particles, gravity separation equipment such as spiral chutes, and shaking tables are commonly used to separate quartz ore particles. Gravity separation has a certain effect of removing impurities, but it is difficult to meet …

Magnetic Separation: In some cases, magnetic separation is used to remove iron and other magnetic impurities from the silica sand, further enhancing its purity. Industrial Applications of Silica Sand. Silica sand plays a crucial role in various industries in the Philippines. Here are some of its primary applications: 1. Glass Manufacturing

The physical separation process is generally the initial process for quartz sand with low silica content ranging from 78 % to 92 % [4].
