The invention belongs to the technical field of
quartz sand preparation, and discloses high-purity
quartz sand and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: by taking water, mixed alkali and
silicon powder as raw materials, uniformly stirring the
silicon powder, the water and an additive to prepare
silicon sludge, adding the rest raw materials into a reaction kettle, heating, then adding the silicon
sludge into the reaction kettle in a frequency division manner, reacting to obtain a
sodium silicate solution, removing anion and cation impurities, then adding an acid solution, heating to obtain
silicic acid gel, and
drying to obtain the
silica gel. The
silicic acid gel is subjected to freezing treatment, vacuum
microwave drying and chloridizing
roasting after unfreezing are conducted, and the high-purity
quartz sand is obtained. According to the preparation method, the quartz sand with the purity higher than 99.9999% can be synthesized, the
granularity of the quartz sand can be controlled according to the adding proportion of the acid solution, the content of gas-liquid inclusion in the quartz sand is remarkably reduced, and the quality of the quartz sand is improved.
