What Is Silica Sand & How Is It Different From Regular Sand?
Regular sand, also known as feldspathic sand, brown sand, or construction sand, typically contains silica, but in concentrations lower than 95%. For instance, typical brown sand used in concrete applications may contain up to 80% SiO2, along with varying amounts of iron, carbonate, potassium, and other trace elements/minerals.
