Silica sand is a granular material and includes quartz and small amounts of clay, coal, and sometimes it also has minerals in it. SiO2 is the chemical name of silica and it is made from mixture of two minerals such as oxygen and silicon. This sand can be found as mines in most regions of the globe and its sources have a wide variety and in color, these are white, beige, and yellow. Silica sand has very high boiling and melting point and pure silica is colorless but can be found in colored if contaminants are present in a sample of quartz. It is used in a variety of industries across the globe.
The United States silica sand market is witnessing rapid growth from the past few years. Increasing production and use of industrial sand across the country is major driving factor behind the market growth.
