What Is Diosmectite?

Silica [1] (quartz stone) is a general term for vein quartz, quartzite, and quartz sandstone. Mainly used in acid refractory bricks for metallurgical industry. Pure silica can be used as quartz glass or refined single crystal silicon. The appearance of crystalline silica is generally milky white, off-white, light yellow, and reddish brown. It has bright luster, smooth and continuous cross section, with sharp edges and corners, with great hardness and strength. Vein quartz is compact, pure white, translucent, oily and shiny, and has a shell-shaped section. The quartz crystal particles are mostly above 2mm, which can be discerned by the naked eye. It is used in the chemical industry to prepare silicon compounds and silicates, and can also be used as a filler for sulfuric acid towers. The building materials industry is used for glass, ceramics, portland cement, etc. It can be used as the raw material for the smelting of iron alloys such as industrial silicon.

Appearance
The appearance properties are mainly the shape, section, color, gloss, and inclusions of silica. From the appearance, it can be initially determined whether the silica is crystalline silica, cemented silica, vein vein, etc. [1]
Silica is
In addition to the main mineral quartz, silica is usually accompanied by impurity minerals such as feldspar, mica, clay and iron. The prepared high-purity and ultra-high-purity quartz raw materials are impurities other than silicon dioxide.The main harmful impurities are iron-containing and aluminum-containing impurities. Therefore, the progress and improvement of the purification method and process of silicon raw materials are also mainly Reflected in the effective removal of iron and aluminum impurities [4]
According to the state of impurities and inclusions of silica mineral raw materials, in the beneficiation and purification process, there are mainly scrubbing-magnetic separation-flotation-acid leaching and other processes.With the continuous research of beneficiation technology, electrical separation and biological Beneficiation, etc. [4]
ZBD 53001-1990
China's industry standard (ZB D53001-90) has stipulated the quality standards of silica for refractories, as listed in Table 1-8. Waste silica, breccia-like silica, weathered rocks, etc. shall not be mixed into the silica, and no impurities exceeding 1 mm thick are allowed on the surface, and various harmful inclusions with a diameter greater than 5 mm are not allowed in the silica block.

YB / T 5268-2007
The latest standard YB / T 5268-2007 silica
This standard replaces YB / T5268-1999 "silica"
The main differences between this standard and YB / T5268-1999 are as follows:
Added grades;
Modified the method of branding;
Modified the expression method of fire resistance from temperature to cone number;
The requirement of water absorption rate has been cancelled;
Added inspection batch.
