Practically, Silica sand is defined as a high purity industrial mineral in

which the sand grains are made entirely of quartz. Impurities are very

minor and commonly are clay minerals (kaolinite, illite), titaniferous

minerals, iron oxides and heavy minerals.

What is Silica Sand

The term silica sand is applied to quartz

sand that conforms to the specifications of

which the main composition is SiO2 >99%,

with very little contaminant contents and

heavy minerals of <0.1%.


Uses of Silica Sand

Silica is a basic material in the glass industry, ceramic and

refractory industries, and the raw material used in making

silicon, silicon alloys, silicon carbide, silicones, soluble

silicates, and other silicon-based chemicals. Its specialized

applications include such products as piezoelectric

crystals, optical products, mother board and memory chips

and vitreous silica.

Locations

Huge silica sand : Ras En Naqb Area

resources of Early Ordovician are found

in the area south of the Ras En Naqb

escarpment (70 km north of Aqaba).The

exposures are extended over an area of

more than 150 km2 with a thickness of

about 265-350 m.

The area east of :Qa’a Ed Disi Area

Quweira town to the north of Wadi

Ram comprises huge reserves of

silica sand of Early Ordovician (50 km

north-east of Aqaba).


Petra / Ein El Biada Area: White

sandstone of Early Ordovician was

found in the area north to Petra town.

Al Jayoshia Area: A big massive

exposure of white, soft friable, and

fine sandstone of Lower Cretaceous

is located about 6 km east-southeast

of port of Aqaba. (All locations

mentioned above are accessed

through

the Amman-Aqaba highway).


: Wadi Rakiya Area-Wadi Es Siq

Exposures of good potential of silica

sand (Lower Cretaceous) white

sandstone and belong to the

Kurnub Sandstone Group were

located in the area between and

along Wadi Es Siq and Wadi

Rakiyia in Wadi Araba (65 km north

of Aqaba). These outcrops are

white, fine to very fine grained

sandstone with kaolinite clay as

matrix or thin layer intercalations.


White silica sand

deposits are found

exposed on the

surface, that belong to

the Disi Sandstone

Formation of Early

Ordovician age and

Kurnub sandstone

Formation of Lower

Cretaceous age which

exposed in south of

Jordan.
