Description
This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.
Activity Description
The mining and beneficiation process of silica sand includes blasting, mechanical excavation, transportation, crushing and screening, drying, and other procedures.
Process Description
The SiO2 content in silica ranges from 98.02% to 98.52%, along with 0.97% to 1.04% Al2O3, 0.62% to 0.67% Fe2O3, 0.034% to 0.043% CaO, and 0.003% P2O5. Metallurgical-grade silica is used as a raw material in the smelting of industrial silicon and other ferroalloys, for the preparation of silicon compounds and silicates in the chemical industry, and also as packing material in sulfuric acid towers.
