They are pure white sand rocks that contain a high percentage
of SiO2 silica (more than 99%) mainly composed of quartz
mineral granules and contain a small amount of impurities
and heavy metals (less than 0.1%). As for the term glass sand,
it is called silica sand (quartz), which has physical and chemical
properties that are suitable for the glass industry, for example, the size of the granules, which
usually ranges between 100 - 500 microns, and the percentage of iron oxides (Fe2O3) less than
0.05%. Silica sands are uncovered in several areas in southern Jordan, and these sands date back
to the lower Ordevici and lower Cretaceous periods.
Glass sand use
1- Glassware, crystal glass, glass panels, fiberglass, optics glass.
2- Reducing solvent factor for base oxides in dissolution processes.
3- Water filters in wastewater stations and swimming pools.
4- A filler and extender material for the rubber, plastics, paper, paints and a special type of cement.
