Chemical Industry
Chemical industry quartz is a high-purity SiO₂ source that serves as a fundamental feedstock in the production of silicon-based chemicals. Quartz is used as the starting material in the production of silica gel, precipitated silica, silicone and various silicon compounds. High-purity quartz (typical SiO₂ content 99.8%) delivers consistent yield and low impurity levels in chemical production.
How Is Quartz Selected for Chemical Production?
The criteria that define quartz for chemical production are clear. SiO₂ purity directly determines the amount of silicon entering the process and the purity of the final product. A low impurity level reduces unwanted by-products in the chemical produced. Grain size is chosen according to the type of process (melting, dissolving, reaction) and affects the reaction rate. Chemical and thermal stability provide controlled and repeatable production.
Recommended Products for the Chemical Industry
Depending on the type of process, granular or micronised quartz is used in chemical production. We can determine the appropriate purity and grain size together, based on your production process.

Which chemicals is quartz used to produce?
It is used as the starting material in the production of silica gel, precipitated silica, silicone and various silicon compounds.
How does quartz purity affect chemical production?
SiO₂ purity directly determines the purity of the final product and the yield of the process.
Is granular or micronised quartz used?
It depends on the type of process; granular quartz may be preferred in melting-based processes, and fine micronised quartz in reaction-based processes.
Is a specific purity required for the chemical industry?
The required purity varies by application and is determined together.
