Excavator Tata Hitachi Need for the project and its importance to the country and region Need for the project and importance in the country Silica sand is produced by crushing sand stone or quartzite of open texture and washing and grading it to yield requisite grain distribution. Silica flour is produced by crushing grinding and washing the high grade quartz, quartzite rocks or from white silica sand. Silica sand is used for water purification and manufacture of glass, synthetic foundry moulding catalysts, disodium ultramarine etc. It is also used for acid heat resistant ceramics, refractory, pottery glaze, enamel etc. Silica sand of 150 mesh is used in Sawing stone, grinding and surfacing glass and polishing marble. Rounded grains of silica sand are used for sand blasting. It is also used as filler in paints Wood Paste moulded hard rubber goods, gypsum Plasters, Oxychloride acoustic plasters and soap. Demand and Supply Gap The basic requirement of the lessee will be white high silica sand for pulverizing and for making silica powder for supply to various industries such as soap, glass and chemical industries making silica gel, high grade steel casting etc. The rest of the material i.e. stone, Bajri and sand after segregation would be used in road construction as building materials/ construction. To meet this requirement mining of silica sand is to be continued with proper management for the protection of environment. PROJECT PROPONENT SH.
