Silica Sand is quartz that over time, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules.
Commercial Silica Sand is widely used as a proppant by companies involved in oil and natural gas recovery in conventional and unconventional resource plays. The resource is also used in industrial processing to make everyday items such as glass, construction materials, personal care products, electronics, and even renewable materials.
Industrial sand is a term normally applied to high purity silica sand products with closely controlled sizing. It is a more precise product than common concrete and asphalt gravels.
Silica sand, also known as quartz sand, is composed mainly of silicon dioxide (SiO). It is a naturally occurring mineral that is commonly used in a variety of industries due to its properties like durability, high melting point with low iron content , customization and resistance to weathering. Here are some common uses and facts about silica sand:
Common Uses:
Glass Manufacturing: Silica sand is a primary raw material in the production of glass, including container glass, flat glass, and specialty glass.
Construction: It is used in concrete, mortar, and other construction materials, as well as for sandblasting.
Foundries: Silica sand is used in foundry molds and cores for casting metal parts.
Water Filtration: The sand is used in water filtration systems because of its ability to trap contaminants.
Oil & Gas Industry: It is used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to prop open fractures in shale rock to extract oil and natural gas.
Sports & Leisure: Silica sand is used in products like sandboxes, golf course bunkers, and artificial turf.
Properties:
Hardness: Silica sand is known for its hardness, typically ranking around 7 on the Mohs scale, which makes it useful for many industrial applications.
Grain Size: The grain size of silica sand varies, with smaller grains being used for things like glass and larger grains being used for sandblasting or filtration.
Color: It can vary in color, from white to tan or even pink, depending on impurities and iron content.

Lump sulfur, also known as granular or rock sulfur, is typically characterized by a purity of 99.80% or higher, with a maximum ash content of 0.05%.
It should also have a limited acidity (H2SO4) of 0.02% or 0.03% and minimal moisture content (0.5% or 0.2%).
More detailed breakdown of lump sulfur specifications:
Purity:
Dry Basis: 99.80% minimum purity is a common specification.
Other Standards: Some standards like Refinery Specifications, may specify a purity of 99.98%.
Impurities:
Ash Content: A maximum ash content of 0.05% is a typical requirement.
Acidity: A maximum acidity (H2SO4) of 0.02% or 0.03% is common.
Organic Substances: Some specifications limit organic substances to 0.01% or 0.03% maximum.
Moisture: A maximum moisture content of 0.5% or 0.2% is generally specified.
Mechanical Impurities: Some specifications require the absence of mechanical impurities like paper, wood, or sand.
Other Impurities: Some standards specify limits for arsenic, selenium, tellurium, and lead impurities.
Color and Appearance:
Color: Bright yellow is the typical color specification.
Other Considerations:
Test Methods:
Specifications often include test methods, such as ASTM D-4239, ASTM D-1509, ASTM D-1613, and ASTM D-2790, for determining the various parameters.
Bulk Density:
Granular sulfur has a bulk density of around 70 lb/cu ft (1121.29 kg/cu m).
Solubility:
Sulfur is insoluble in water, partially soluble in acetone, and slightly soluble in diethyl ether and alcohol.
Calcite is carbonate and is generally white in colour. Calcite is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, limestone in particular. It has the same chemical formula as other calcium carbonate based minerals like Limestone and marbles.
Calcite, like most carbonates, will dissolve with most forms of acid. Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature and pH.
Applications
Pharmaceuticals
Drilling
Iron and steel industry
The foundry-grade bentonite powder is used as a bonding material in the preparation of moulding sand for the production of iron, steel, and non-ferrous casting. Sodium Bentonite is the preferred binding agent for use in the bonding of metals and foundry sands, although calcium Bentonite enhances foundry sandâ??s flow ability and figures in the manufacture of nonferrous mouldings.
Drilling Grade (API Grades, OCMA)
Drilling-grade bentonite is a naturally occurring clay containing the clay minerals of smectite. It can also contain accessory minerals, such as quartz, mica, feldspar, and calcite. The Drilling Grade Bentonite Powder is used as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling. Its roles are mainly to seal the borehole walls, remove drill cuttings, and lubricate the cutting head. Our Drilling Grade Bentonite Powder has high swelling and good colloidal nature, which can increase the viscosity of suspension in the drilling mud and also can increase the lubrication of drilling, as well as for the rig-freeing agent.
Piling Grade
Bentonite slurry is one of the most common excavation fluid used in constructing diaphragm walls. The gel strength and viscosity properties of the bentonite clay allow for cutting suspension and removal. Piling Grade Bentonite Powder is used traditionally as a support and lubricant agent in walls and foundations, tunnelling, and horizontal drilling. Viscosity and plasticity play a very important role. Bentonite slurry walls are used in construction, where the slurry wall is a trench filled with a thick colloidal mixture of Bentonite and water.
Cattle Feed Grade
Our Feed Grade Bentonite is Natural & selected from affluent Mines of Kutch. This Bentonite is used as an animal feed supplement, as a palletizing aid in the production of feed pallets, as well as a flow ability aid. It slows the passage of feed through the digestive system increasing the uptake of nutrients. Bentonite has an affinity for some of the active elements of toxin products formed by bacteria in the digestive tract, and its application in feed allows more rapid weight gain of livestock.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed principally of calcium carbonate (calcite) or the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (dolomite). It is commonly composed of tiny fossils, shell fragments and other fossilized debris.

Silica sand is one of the most common varieties of sand found in the world. It is used for a wide range of applications. Sand is the general term for broken down granules of minerals or rocks, technically between about one-sixteenth of a millimeter to two millimeters in diameter, falling between silt and gravel in the spectrum of sizes. There are many varieties of sand in the world, each with their own unique composition and qualities.
Silica is another name for Silicon dioxide, SiO2, of which quartz is a specific latticed structure. So, silica sand is quartz that over the years, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. These granules can be used for many different purposes and can be found in most non-tropical regions of the world.

The composition of bauxite consists mainly of aluminium hydroxide minerals, such as gibbsite Al(OH)3 along with various impurities such as iron oxides, silica, and titanium. The colour of bauxite can range from grey to brown, yellowish-brown, or reddish-brown, depending on the presence of impurities. Bauxite is a crucial raw material for the production of aluminium, which is widely used in various industries such as transportation, construction, packaging, electrical appliances, and aerospace. Aluminium is valued for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, high conductivity, and recyclability. Bauxite mining and aluminium production have significant economic impacts in countries with abundant reserves.
