Sources of Silica Sand: SiO2 is the chemical sign of silica and it is actually the group of minerals which is a mixture of Oxygen and Silicon. This sand is often got in the crystalline state and because of weathering, plankton fossilization takes place and that results in crystallizing SiO2. In most regions of the world, these are found as mines and it is obtained in …

Because sand has a negligible degree of porosity, it has an extremely low specific surface area in the range from 40 to 160 cm 2 /g. The material usually contains more than 99.7% SiO 2, with absorbed water being at a negligible level (0.1%). Ground silica sand is produced in a similar manner, except that pulverizing is included.

Silica sand differs from regular sand as by definition, it must have 95% SiO2 (silicon dioxide) and less than 0.6% iron oxide. Because of its purer composition compared to 'regular' sand – which contains less than 80% SiO2 – it's much less chemically reactive. It is added to artificial turf as infill because it provides a natural feel ...
