Abstract:

Silica deposits in Jungshahi (Sindh, Pakistan) are contaminated with clay silt and ferric oxide besides some trace elements. Only green bottle grade of glass can be manufactured from these sands. An attempt has been made to upgrade these sands first by push sieving, washing, and then treating with oxalic acid or tartaric acid. This brings about maximum possible purification with maximum economy for the manufacture of good colorless glass used for tableware and other decorative purposes.
