Another method of producing silica is to react silicon with oxygen in a high-temperature furnace. This process, known as the arc furnace process, can produce high-purity crystalline silica, which can be used to make glass, ceramics, and other products.

view moreSilica, SiO 2 occurs in nature as a dense rock quartzite and as silica sand. Sand is the preferred raw material for ceramics as it does not need the energy-consuming crushing process. Quartzites however dissolve more rapidly than sand in the molten phase as indicated by the transformation rate to cristobalite during heating ( Schuller, 1997 ).

Olivine sand is replacing silica sand to reduce the hazard of silicosis. Bentonite is clay-type mineral that is considered a nuisance dust. Shell molding uses a resin-bonded sand for ...

Manufacturers must strictly adhere to stringent standards when selecting and preparing their silica sand to ensure the highest quality glass can be made from raw materials.
