Study on Quartz Purification from Jiangxi Suichuan Jianji
This study takes the quartz mine in Suichuan,Jiangxi Province as the research object,and use XRD,ICP and optical microscopy to analyze chemical composition,mineral composition,particle size distribution and other process mineralogical characteristics of quartz sand.The puri-fication process of"crushing-screening-magnetic separation-scrubbing-washing-flotation-roasting-water quenching-acid leaching"was proposed and applied.After purification,the contents of Na,Al,Fe,and K were decreased from 838.3,6 176.54,3 526.98 and 472.76 μg/g to 1.68,44.14,5.16 and 14.19 μg/g,respectively.Moreover,the total impurity content was decreased from 11 950.9 μg/g to 74.29 μg/g,the SiO2 content in the quartz sand in-creased from 98.81%to 99.993%,Which could provide a guidance for the preparation of 4N high-purity quartz sand.
