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

Quartz sand is an important industrial mineral raw material, non-chemical hazardous goods, widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and fireproof materials, ferrosilicon smelting, metallurgical flux, metallurgy, construction, chemical industry, plastics, rubber, abrasives, filter materials and other industries. Quartz has high fire resistance. Quartz sand is often divided into ordinary quartz sand, refined quartz sand, high-purity quartz sand, fused quartz sand and silicon powder in industry.
