What are the specifications and standards used in selection of high grade quartz used in optical glass and metallurgy? (grain size, SiO2 and impurities contents...)
Hello dear Wissem;
Yes Silica should have both chemical and physical properties in order to meet market requests;
For glass industry: Particle size distribution (PSD); moisture and chemical composition are very important.
For foundry sand basically AFS number (GFN: grain fines number) ad ADV (acid demand value) are very important.
Please check the attached file.
I am working for processing of silica since 10 years ago and if I can assist you I will be happy.
Regards,
Hamed
Dear Hamed,
I appreciate your response to my request
Diatomaceous earths are used for acid filtration, however after few time the pores will be clogged by sulfur. We search minerallurgical techniques in order to reuse Diatomaceous earths.
