A facile and universal method to purify silica from natural sand
The initial purity of silica is wt% for desert sand, wt% for river sand, and wt% for sea sand. Highpurity silica has been successfully separated and purified from natural sand via ball milling, reacting with 30 bar CO 2 and hydrochloric acid. The purity of silica derived from natural sand reaches >96 wt%. In this work, the ...
