Quartz sand is quartz particles formed by crushing and processing quartz stone. Quartz stone is a non-metallic mineral, which is a hard, wear-resistant and chemically stable silicate mineral. The color of quartz sand is milky white, or colorless translucent, Mohs hardness 7.Common specifications are: 0.5-1mm, 1-2mm, 2-4mm, 4-8mm, 8-16mm, 16-32mm, 10-20 mesh, 20-40 mesh, 40-80 mesh, 100-120 mesh.

Coated sand is mainly made of high-quality natural quartz sand as raw sand, thermoplastic phenolic resin, ulotropine and reinforcing agent as raw materials. According to the different technical requirements of users, the ratio is appropriately adjusted in terms of curing speed, film removal, fluidity, collapsibility, casting surface finish, storage and so on. It is one of the best modeling materials for cars, tractors and hydraulic parts.

Emery, SiC, also known as silicon carbide. Pure is a colorless crystal. Density 3.06~3.20. It's very hard, about 9.5 degrees Morse. Generally, it is a colorless powdery particle. After grinding, it can be used as grinding powder, polishing paper, and friction surfaces for grinding wheels and whetstones. It is made by heating sand and carbon in an electric furnace.

Glass sand is divided into colored glass sand and transparent glass sand, transparent glass sand looks like white sugar, glass sand is used for glass surface decoration, such as glasses, vases, lampshades and so on. Glass sand is fused together with glass workpieces to form a concave and convex three-dimensional surface,

Colored sand is divided into natural colored sand, sintered colored sand, temporary dyed color sand, permanent dyed color sand. Its characteristics are: bright color, acid and alkali resistance, ultraviolet resistance, do not fade. Natural color sand: It is crushed by natural ore, which does not fade but has more impurities. Temporary dyeing color sand: bright color, easy to decolorize.

Shell sand is a common building material, which is made of crushed shells and has a certain hardness and durability. Shell sand has a wide range of uses and can be used in many aspects such as interior walls, exterior walls, floors and ceilings.

Colored ceramic paving stone granule fleshy ceramic soil breathable flower pot paving special hydroponic colored ceramic, can be placed at the bottom of the flower pot as a drainage layer to keep the drainage smooth.

Quartz stone is a non-metallic mineral, which is a hard, wear-resistant and chemically stable silicate mineral. The color of quartz sand is milky white, or colorless translucent, Mohs hardness 7.Quartz sand is an important industrial mineral raw material, non-chemical dangerous goods, widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and fireproof materials, smelting ferrosilicon, metallurgical flux, metallurgy, construction, chemical industry, plastics, rubber, abrasives, filter media and other industries.

The use of emery is very wide, for example, the glass industry, used to grind glass rough edges, the stone industry is used to grind marble, the metal industry is used for sandblasting, rust removal, grinding, etc., and we use emery made of wear-resistant floor, used in the field of industrial floor.

Sand casting is an economical way to produce parts in a variety of metals. Shell mold casting can be an alternative process to consider given specific part design needs. This blog post introduces the shell mold casting process and compares it with sand casting so readers may understand their respective strengths and limitations.

Gulf State Park holds some of the most endangered archaeological deposits in the State of Alabama. Even though these sites are located within the protected area of the park, rising sea levels and damage caused by severe coastal storms will one day likely erase what remains of these fragile reminders of the people who were here before us. Even today, understanding the complex system of interconnected waterways, residential sites, and mounds is made that much more difficult by the centuries of storms and historic changes to the landscape.

Ceramsite is made of clay, slate, shale, coal gangue, and industrial solid waste and other raw materials, and is sintered by ceramics.

Quartz sand is quartz particles formed by crushing and processing of quartz stone. Quartz stone is a non-metallic mineral, which is a hard, wear-resistant and chemically stable silicate mineral. The color of quartz sand is milky white, or colorless translucent, Mohs hardness 7.

The importance of minerals in everyday life is hardly recognized by the vast majority of people. According to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the average person consumes or uses 40,000 pounds of minerals every year. Over the course of a lifetime, an individual will use more than 1,050 pounds of lead, 1,050 pounds of zinc, 1,750 pounds of copper, 4,550 pounds of aluminum, 91,000 pounds of iron and steel, 360,500 pounds of coal, and one million pounds of industrial minerals such as limestone, clay, and gravel.

Minerals are all around us and even within us. Consider iron in your blood or calcium in your bones. While humans have always sought food products, we’ve always used rocks. Our ancestors used cobbles as hammers to crack nuts. We later learned to use obsidian, chert, and flint to knap knives and spear points and to spark fire. We’ve moved on from the Stone Age to the Copper, Bronze, and Iron Ages. Minerals and related earth resources continue to enable contemporary life and the built environment in which we live. They include metals, nonmetallic minerals, and fossil fuels. How little we appreciate this fact of life!

Mineral raw materials are defined as minerals that are the natural products of geological processes that took place millions of years ago. They are found in the Earth’s crust. Mineral raw materials are estimated to include around 4,000 minerals. Minerals have a unique chemical composition, highly ordered atomic arrangement, and specific physicochemical properties.

A mineral is a chemical compound which has a definite chemical composition, inorganic and solid in nature. It is a naturally occurring compound. It is inorganic and has an ordered internal structure. Mineralogy is the study of minerals. Gemstones like diamonds, emeralds and sapphires which are produced in industries are identical and hence are called man-made minerals. Minerals are those elements on the earth and in foods that our bodies need to develop and function normally.
