Abstract:
A laboratory investigation was carried out on fourteen samples of sands from Dara Pezu and Mianwali to study their suitability in glass industry. The investigation involves the removal of coarse and fine grains, washing treatment and finally magnet application. The percentage of Fe2 O3 in raw as well as in final products was determined. The sand sample No.V from dara Pezu containing iron 0.04% was found to be the best of the whole lot. Sample Nos. II and III from Mianwali containing iron 0.05% come next in the order. All the above three sands may, therefore, be used for making colourless and laboratory glasswares.
