Fibre Cotton from Silica Sand (Cap: 10 MT/Day)

FIBRE COTTON FROM SILICA SAND (CAP: 10 MT/DAY)

[EIRI/EDPR/4476] J.C.: 2691XL

Fibre Cotton is an innovative product of modern times which is having its application in refrigerator freezer as insulating materials in quality etc. Owing to its special characteristics the product is capturing the market at a rapid pace as well as fetching lucrative returns. Its eminence is stretching all around which owes to its versatility. In view of the fact that its end-user industries are having broad vistas, the demand of the product is on a high crest.

Also, as there are very limited number of units producing Fibre Cotton, the scope for venturing into this field becomes all the more bright on the part of new entrants as well as for those exixting industrialists. Thus the scope of the product is very bright.

Silica sand can range from nearly transparent to a darker gray. It is an odorless powder that can cause irritation to the skin or eyes on contact. Inhaling silica sand will also irritate the respiratory tract. In fact, the fine particulates of silica dust from quartz rock contribute to chronic, progressive lung injury, known as silicosis. Additional physical properties include:

Molecular Weight: 60.084 g/mol

Exact Mass: 59.966756 g/mol

Boiling Point: 4046°F at 760 mm Hg

Melting Point: 3110°F

Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a naturally occurring compound of silicon and oxygen. This is the primary compound present in silica sand, which occurs in three main crystalline varieties, including quartz, tridymite, and cristobalite. The covalent bonding of a single silicon atom with two oxygen atoms, creating linear triatomic molecules, forms SiO2. Additional chemical properties of silica sand include:

Solubility: Insoluble

Vapor Pressure: Approximately 0 mm/Hg

Heat Combustion: Noncombustible
