Zircon sand Description Zircon sand, also
known as zircon sand and zircon, is a mineral
composed mainly of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4).
Pure zircon sand is a colorless transparent
crystal. It is often dyed yellow, orange, red,
brown, etc. due to different origins and different
types and types of impurities. The crystal
structure is tetragonal and has a quadrangular
pyramid shape.The main chemical composition is
ZrO2; SiO2, and a small amount of Fe2O3, CaO, AI2O3
and other impurities.The melting point fluctuates
with the impurity in 2190~2420ºC. Zircon sand
Application : 1, refractory raw materials: used
for the production of zirconium brick, zirconium
jade fused brick, sintered brick, water brick,
glass kiln zirconium ramming material, castable. 2,
ceramics: stable chemical performance, is a kind of
high quality, cheap opacification agent, is widely
used in all kinds of building ceramics, sanitary
ceramics, daily ceramics, first-class handicraft
ceramics production, in the processing and
production of ceramic glaze, a wide range of use,
large dosage. 3, glass: television industry color
picture tube, glass industry emulsion glass. 4.
Coating: good suspension stability, excellent
thixotropy and fluidity, good brushing, brushless
coating, low organic content, small gas production,
high coating strength. 5, casting: with good
thermal conductivity, small thermal expansion,
thermal shock stability, high refractoriness,
zirconium sand heat storage coefficient is also
large. It has a strong cooling effect on castings,
which can refine metal structure and improve
mechanical properties.
