Zircon sand is the mineral raw material from which zircon is extracted. This is then used to produce many engineering materials, including zirconia ceramics and other zirconium metals. In this chapter, the important deposits of zircon sand are mentioned and various applications of the extracted zircon are presented.

Deposits of mineral sands are formed along ancient coastlines where the heavier minerals were concentrated by wave and wind action. Most mineral sand deposits are found in unconsolidated fossil shorelines several hundred metres to tens of kilometres – or occasionally hundreds of kilometres – inland from the present coastline. Major deposits are found in Australia and Southern Africa, but also in South and Southeast Asia, China, East and West Africa, Ukraine and in North and South America.

The heavy mineral content of these sand deposits can range from 0.5% to >20%. Similarly, the zircon content varies from deposit to deposit, ranging from as little as 1% to as much as 50%.

Now we are sourcing for the Zircon sand for the production of the alloys here in China.

Our purchase quantity for the zircon sand can be 1000MT per month and the commonly specification is as follows:
