Garnet sand, an exquisite naturally-occurring inert mineral, is renowned for its sharp, angular, twelve-sided crystal structure, known as a rhombic dodecahedron. With a formidable hardness ranging between 7.5 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, these crystal properties bestow it with unparalleled abrasive capabilities, making it the superior choice for a plethora of industrial applications.
APPLICATIONS
Garnet sand is highly versatile and finds extensive use in the meticulous polishing of glass screens, single crystal silicon, and optical lenses. Moreover, it excels in rust sand blasting and water jet cutting. As a premier sandblasting abrasive medium, it is particularly adept at removing rust, paint, and corrosion, proving its versatility across various applications on materials such as metal, brick, concrete, and masonry.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Extraction:
Mining: Garnet sand is procured either from alluvial deposits or through the mining of robust rock formations. The choice of mining technique is dictated by the nature of the garnet deposit. Alluvial mining involves processes like washing and screening, whereas hard rock mining necessitates drilling, blasting, and crushing.
Crushing and Grinding:
Primary Crushing: The mined garnet ore undergoes primary crushing, whereby it is fragmented into smaller segments using jaw crushers or gyratory crushers.
Secondary Crushing: Subsequently, the material undergoes secondary crushing via cone crushers or impact crushers to achieve the precise size specifications.
Separation:
Screening: The crushed garnet is meticulously screened to segregate garnet particles from waste rock. This involves employing vibrating screens or sieves for particle size classification.
Gravity Separation: Utilizing gravity-based techniques such as jigging or spiral concentration, garnet is separated from lighter impurities based on distinct density variances.
Magnetic Separation: To ensure purity, magnetic separators are employed to eliminate any magnetic minerals or impurities present in the garnet sand.
Washing and Drying:
Washing: Garnet sand undergoes a comprehensive washing process to eradicate residual impurities, clay, or dust. This is efficiently achieved using water in washing plants or hydrocyclones.
Drying: Post-washing, the garnet sand is thoroughly dried using rotary dryers or fluidized bed dryers, ensuring complete moisture removal and preparation for further processing or packaging.
Milling (Optional):
Fine Grinding: To meet specific application requirements, garnet sand may undergo additional milling to achieve finer particle sizes. This is accomplished using ball mills or roller mills as needed.
Screening and Classification:
Size Classification: The dried garnet sand is expertly screened and classified into varied size ranges, adhering to industry standards or bespoke customer requirements. This is achieved through the use of vibrating screens and air classifiers for precision sizing.
Quality Control:
Inspection and Testing: Rigorous quality control tests are conducted to affirm that the garnet sand conforms to specified standards, encompassing assessments of particle size distribution, hardness, purity, and contaminant absence.
Surface Treatment (Optional):
Coating or Polishing: Depending on its intended application, the garnet sand may undergo specialized surface treatments to bolster properties such as abrasiveness or chemical resistance.
Storage: Maintain the packaged garnet sand in a dry, controlled environment to preserve its impeccable quality and prevent any form of contamination.
