The application provides a preparation method of low-cost high-purity crystalline
cristobalite quartz sand, comprising the following steps: mixing a
silicon source, high-purity alkali and deionized water in a proportion, and heating to prepare high-purity water glass; mixing the high-purity water glass with high-purity acid in a proportion, stirring to form a precipitate, sealing, standing and using the growth process of the gel to perform segregation and
impurity removal, and then performing aging treatment; using deionized water to filter and rinse the precipitate, and
drying to obtain amorphous high-purity
silica gel powder; performing
crystallization transformation and chlorination
impurity removal on the amorphous high-purity
silica gel powder; using deionized water and
dilute acid to clean the
cristobalite after
crystallization and
impurity removal, and
drying to obtain high-purity crystalline
cristobalite quartz sand. The purity of the
quartz sand prepared by the preparation method can reach 5N-7N grade, the preparation cost is low, large-scale
continuous production can be realized, the synthesized quartz sand is in a crystalline state, and the produced quartz glass product has lower bubble and flocculent content and better mechanical, heat-resistant and optical properties.
