Brown Silica Sand For Water Purification And Manufacture Of Glass, Synthetic Foundry Moulding Catalysts, Disodium Ultramarine

Silica sand is the oxide of silicon with a variety of specialized uses. It has applications in water purification and manufacture of glass, synthetic foundry moulding catalysts, disodium ultramarine etc. Silica sand uses are found in industrial applications: fillers for pigments and paint, manufacture of ceramics, refractories etc.The air and water pollution that result from the minerals industry can be mitigated if silica sand is used for water purification (e.g. in water treatment plants) and as a raw material of construction materials and household utensils (glass, synthetic foundry moulding catalysts, disodium ultramarine). Contaminated effluents from the mineral processing plants can be treated by hydrometallurgical . It is not only about environmental issues but also about social sustainability; the employment arising from the use of the mineral products is reason enough to use natural resources in sustainable ways.
