Abstract

Preliminary investigation on the silica sand deposits (white sands) of Wadi Watir region shows that they are of well-sorted grain size, considerable purity and high grade. They might be suitable for art and domestic glass manufactories. The present paper shows that only simple screening must be for upgrading of silica sands. Neither acid treatment of the silica sands nor removal of their content of heavy minerals improves the silica sand grade to any extent.
