The silica content is suitable for a variety of uses including:
architectural high gloss finish stone for export dimension stone for export and domestic use landscaping and retaining wall boulders road base
concrete aggregates and other general-purpose aggregates;
cement & mortar grade sands pipeline bedding, packing and ballast sands and coloured sands.
Since being purchased, the mine has seen an increased valuation from $5.2 million to $122 million.
The current mining lease and permit allows extraction of up to 1 million tonnes of material per year up until 2033.
The full PPM resource is available for processing and offtake (40.0Mt). Currently there are no requirements to manage waste, overburden or spoil in the project plan due to the full resources being utilised
The Importance of Silica
Silica, silica sand or silicon dioxide is used for a wide variety of applications, particularly in industrial processing. Silica itself is quartz that over time, through the work of environmental factors has been broken down into tiny granules.
Did you know speciality glass, like your mobile phone screens, are made from sand? Now imagine a world without these devices, weâ??ve all become accustomed to using our devices to communicate with our loved ones, do work, our banking and always be connected. Sand is the second most mined resource in the world, with demands both globally and domestically here in Australia.
One of the areas where silica is used, is in all types of speciality glass which includes test tubes and other scientific tools, incandescent and fluorescent lamps, and television and computer CRT monitors etc. In fact, itâ??s also a crucial ingredient to construction aggregate.
Ultimately, the way in which silica sand is used is dependent on a variety of factors such as the chemical, physical and mechanical properties including colour, grain size, stability and strength. Part of these characteristics are dependent on the way in which the mineral is processed after the mining process.
Silica Sand * Silica Sand is a type of sand usually available in the form of quartz. It is a hard and crystalline form of mineral components. * Silica sand is the most abundant mineral with the purity more than 99.0%. It is the preferred choice of consumption for various industrial purposes.
Silicon is the most abundant element on earth's surface and in the form of silica it is consumed in great numbers for industrial uses. We offer good quality Silica Sand that is in huge demand in the markets. We offer Silica Sand at very affordable price to adjacent states, national & multi national companies engaged in construction and manufacturing of glass making, foundries, abrasive, tennis coating, grinding media etc.
Micro silica also known as fume, is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 mm. The main field of application is as pozzolanic for high performance concrete because of its extreme fineness and high silica.
Applications :
Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste.
Advantages :
Addition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.
At Shree Ram Kaolin, we pride ourselves on offering premium quality Silica Sand that is sourced only from trusted and certified Silica Sand manufacturers.
Our Silica Sand is processed using the highest standards in the industry, ensuring that our customers are receiving only the finest product available.
We also maintain an AFS system to produce foundry sand. We provide the worldâ??s best silica sand, especially suitable for the glass industry due to its pure white colour.
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.
