What Is Quartz and Why It Matters
Quartz is a crystalline form of silicon dioxide that is abundant in the earth’s crust. Its hardness, chemical stability, and piezoelectric properties make it indispensable in a wide range of industries.
Key Properties of Quartz
- Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale, making it resistant to wear.
- Thermal Stability: Withstands temperatures up to 1,700°C.
- Piezoelectricity: Generates electric charge under mechanical stress.
- Optical Clarity: Used in lenses and optical fibers.
Applications in Modern Mining
In mining, quartz is used as a processing aid to separate valuable minerals from ore. Its high density and hardness allow it to act as a grinding media in ball mills, improving the efficiency of crushing operations.
Extraction Techniques
- Open‑Pit Mining: Large‑scale removal of quartz deposits from surface‑level veins.
- Underground Mining: Targeted extraction from deeper quartz seams.
- Solution Mining: Dissolving soluble quartz in acidic solutions for recovery.
