Abstract. To produce high-purity silica sand usable for glass making, the present study was carried out. The objective of this work was to increase the silicon dioxide (SiO 2) content to at least 99% using a simple process without chemical input.The raw sand samples were taken from the Ivorian sedimentary basin, from Maféré and Assinie areas, C ô te d'Ivoire.

Case in point, purification of solid SiO 2 /silica is sufficiently arduous and resource intensive that scarce, naturally low-impurity "white" sands are highly coveted. (39) One method for removing impurities from impure sands is through the dissolution of solid SiO 2 /silica into molecular/ionic monomers, i.e., "SiO 2 depolymerization".

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.
