Abstract: Great attention has been paid to the development and application of emerging industries, due to the rapid development of science and technology and the improved demand in the field of new and high-tech areas, among which the application of quartz minerals has attracted very high level concerns. Based on the situation and problems during the development and application of quartz minerals, this review summarizes the types, reservation data, and the consumption ways of quartz in our country; Then the types of impurities, the purification methods, and synthesis technology of quartz are included; The application status of quartz as well as the technical difficulty in such strategic emerging industries as the semiconductor industry, optical industry, photovoltaic industry, aerospace field are analyzed in detail. Finally, the effects of impurities on performances of different products in these areas and their control methods are clarified.
