Application of Laser Particle Size Analyzer in Quartz Sand

Quartz sand, primarily composed of silicon dioxide, is a vital industrial raw material. Its high hardness, high-temperature resistance, and chemical stability make it widely used in glassmaking and foundry industries. It is also used in water treatment and filtration, and in metallurgical refractory materials. High-purity quartz sand is even more valuable, serving as a fundamental material in the production of semiconductor chips, photovoltaics, and optical fibers.

Testing the particle size distribution of quartz sand is crucial, as it directly determines product performance and application outcomes.

1. Directly impacts the physical properties of the final product.

In casting, a reasonable particle size distribution ensures high strength and air permeability in the sand mold, preventing defects such as pores and sand sticking. In water treatment and filtration, a clearly defined particle size distribution is key to effectively trapping impurities and reducing head loss.

2. It affects the stability and economic efficiency of the production process.

In the glass industry, uniform particle size ensures consistent raw material melting speed, improving glass quality and furnace efficiency. Improper particle size can lead to increased energy consumption or product defects.

Therefore, accurate testing and control of particle size distribution are necessary to ensure that quartz sand meets specific application requirements, guarantee the quality of the final product, and optimize production costs. 

This time, Winner2006 is recommended to test the particle size distribution of quartz sand. It is mainly used to measure the particle size distribution of particles in solid powders or emulsions, such as cement, ceramics, aerosols, suspensions, etc.

Performance Advantage:

1. Large range: the measurement range of Winner2006 is 0.01-1000μm.

2. Wet particle circulation device/optical path automatic centering system: ensures that particles are always in a dynamic dispersion state, and particle size analysis is not limited by any function.

3. Fully automatic mode: The intelligent instrument can test samples with one click.
