What is industrial quartz used for?
2
Minerals are naturally formed materials that have
a chemical composition and a crystalline
structure. They also have an ordered atomic
arrangement with a definite chemical formula.
There are three different types of minerals which
are metallic, crystal, and organic.  Quartz is
one of the most abundant minerals on earth and is
in fact the second most abundant mineral, after
feldspar. Quartz can be classified based on its
origin but there will always be some impurities
within the atomic lattice which gives rise to a
particular color displayed. The presence of
silicon and oxygen in silica makes it a good
semiconductor which is the reason for its use in
making solar cells, used in photovoltaic energy.
Quartz is an important mineral of great variety
in the earths crust. The word quartz was used
during 1500 to refer to rock crystal. This was
probably because of its transparency of
appearance when it comes to pure quartz. Other
minerals when they are pure have a similar
appearance but when impurities are present, the
appearance will change. Since quartz is a hard
mineral, it is used in a wide variety of
industries. For example, glass and window panes
are made from it. Quartz is also used in the
manufacture of electronic devices, such as
thermometers, watches and computer clocks. Since
quartz can be made from silica sand which is
abundant on earth and easy to mine, it makes it
an affordable mineral for industries. Quartz is
one of the hardest naturally occurring minerals
and hence can not be corroded easily. The
crystalline structure of Quartz makes it very
difficult to penetrate and so it can resist acid
attacks. Chemically, Quartz is silicon dioxide
(SiO2). It is chemically stable and does not
react with other substances and chemicals. Its
low water solubility makes it almost completely
resistant to corroding, making it an ideal
product for swimming pools and spas. Quartz is
the most valuable and popular industrial mineral.
Quartz is used in the abrasives industry where
its hardness and durability offer exceptional
performance. We are top Quartz Powder Exporter In
