Abstract:
Using natural quartz minerals as raw materials has been the main way to obtain high-purity quartz, which is widely used in high-tech fields as an important non-metallic mineral material. The occurrence state of impurity elements in natural quartz minerals is an important reference for choosing the right high purity quartz raw materials and formulating the best quartz purification scheme. Based on the analyzing of the beneficiability of different impurity, it is concluded that mineral inclusion, fluid inclusion and lattice impurity content jointly determine the final quality of quartz ore after purification and processing. The processing of high-purity quartz is to separate all kinds of impurities from quartz as completely as possible. By analyzing the separation of associated independent minerals, inclusion impurities and lattice impurities in quartz for processing high-purity quartz, it is considered that the physical separation of independent mineral impurities, conjoined mineral impurities and inclusion impurities must be paid more attention in the future. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that the technology and mechanism of explosion of fluid inclusions, chlorination degassing and removal of lattice impurity need to be further studied. On this basis, suggestions on the development of high purity quartz in China are put forward.
