Quartz Sand Production Line and Process Solution

Quartz Sand Production Line Solution is designed to produce high-purity silica sand for Glass, PV (Photovoltaic), and Ceramic industries.

Our solution utilizes a "Physical Sorting + Chemical Treatment" route. By removing Iron, Aluminum, and Mica impurities, we achieve commercial grades with SiO₂ ≥ 99.9% and Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.001%.

Method 1: Basic Physical Sorting (For Common Glass)

Suitable for producing flat glass, container glass, etc.

• Scrubbing: Rod Mill Scrubber removes surface iron film and clay slime.
• Gravity Sep: Spiral Chute removes heavy minerals (like zircon, titanium).
• Magnetic Sep: High Gradient Magnetic Separator (1.2T) removes weak magnetic iron (hematite, biotite).
• Result: SiO₂ ≥ 99.3%, Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.01%.

Method 2: Deep Purification (For PV Glass)

Suitable for low-iron Photovoltaic (Solar) glass sand.

Project: PV Glass Sand Plant (500t/d)

Using our Flotation + Acid Leaching process for solar panel glass.

• Input: Raw Silica Sand (Fe₂O₃ 0.15%).
• Output: PV Grade Sand (Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.006%, SiO₂ 99.8%).
• Efficiency: Acid recycling rate > 90%.

Q1: Why is Scrubbing important for Quartz?

A: Quartz grains are often coated with a thin film of iron oxide or clay. Rod Mill Scrubbing uses friction between particles to mechanically rub off this film, which is essential for reducing iron content.

Q2: How do you separate Feldspar from Quartz?

A: Separation is done by Flotation. We use HF (Hydrofluoric Acid) or HF-free reagents under acidic conditions to float Feldspar while depressing Quartz.

Q3: Is Acid Leaching environmentally safe?

A: Yes, if managed correctly. We provide closed-loop Acid Leaching Systems with acid mist towers and neutralization tanks to ensure zero harmful discharge and high acid recovery.
