About Silica Sand. Silica Sand contains at least 95% SiO2 and less than 0.6% iron oxide. The most common form of SiO2 is quartz, which is mined from hard rock deposits. It is chemically inert and is often white/colorless. However, the color of each sand deposit depends on the variety of minerals and rock detritus that make up the deposit.

Also called silica sand or quartz sand, silica is made of silicon dioxide (SiO 2). Silicon compounds are the most significant component of the Earth's crust. Since sand is plentiful, easy to mine and relatively easy to process, it is the primary ore source of silicon. The metamorphic rock, quartzite, is another source.

Depending on how the silica sand was formed, quartz grains may be sharp and angular or rounded. For industrial use, pure deposits of silica capable of yielding products of at least 98% SiO2 are required. Silica sand may be produced from sandstone, quartzite and loosely cemented or unconsolidated sand deposits.

The specifications for each use vary, but silica resources for most uses are abundant. In almost all cases, silica mining uses open pit or dredging mining methods with standard mining equipment. Except for temporarily disturbing the immediate area while mining operations are active, sand and gravel mining usually has limited environmental impact.

Mining it requires lots of land, often encroaching on Indigenous land, as in Australia, where 28% of the world's bauxite is produced, and smallholder farmland, as in Guinea, where 22% of it is produced. China produces 22% of the world's bauxite, and processes 56% of global bauxite into aluminum via a very energy-intensive process.
