The decrease in the content of UO 2 and ThO 2 in zircon minerals has been pioneered by several previous researchers such as Sajima [13] and Samin [14]. Unfortunately, the two of them did not explain in detail about the additives and changes in the structure of the zircon mineral due to the process carried out, and the total UO 2 …
Making the zirconia can be made through smelting zircon sand and alkali compound as a flux. The use of alkali compound in this process is named as alkali fusion.
The fusion process was done by reacting zircon samples with NaOH in a furnace at a temperature of 700 oC with various fusion times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes.
Zircon sand is used to create molds for casting metals and alloys because it can withstand the high temperatures and thermal shocks encountered during the casting process.

The Boonanarring mineral sands project near Perth, Western Australia, is developed by Image Resources. The high-grade zircon-rich mineral sands project is a part of the company's North Perth Basin mineral sands project, which is considered to be one of the highest grade sand resources under evaluation. Image Resources began pre …
In Nigeria, the zircon sand processing business is gaining momentum, with substantial deposits found along the coastline and in inland areas. According to local geological surveys, Nigeria possesses significant zircon reserves, contributing to its emergence as a potential hub for zircon sand production in Africa. The global zircon …
Problems with processing the finer particle size of the mineralisation, its variable mineralogy, higher surface and lattice impurity levels, in particular uranium and thorium in zircon grains, have contributed to this. Overcoming these problems is necessary to obtain the full commercial value from the Murray Basin deposits.
Zircon sand mining has emerged as a significant economic driver in Nigeria and Africa, boasting an estimated reserve of over 4 million metric tons. This vast deposit positions Nigeria as a major contributor to the global zircon market, with the mineral playing a pivotal role in ceramics, refractories, and foundry casting.
heavy mineral concentrate, zircon is separated, beneficiated and commercialised as zircon sand (zircon). In some cases, an intermediate zircon concentrate is exported to processing plants in China. Zircon sand is either used directly in certain applications (e.g. foundry sands) or processed to produce zirconium chemical compounds (e.g. Zirconia)
High-purity zircon (ZrSiO 4) nanopowder was successfully produced from Indonesian natural zircon sand using a low-cost purification approach via magnetic separation, …

The radiation impact on the environment from naturally-occurring radioactive materials in zircon sand is an important issue for zirconium product manufacturing enterprises. In this paper, a typical oxychloride production enterprise has been taken as an example to study the radiation effect and environmental pollution during the whole …
Zircon concentrate is the product of beneficiation process from zirc on sand that still contains ilmenite,
The zircon enriched by beneficiation is usually called zircon sand. The process nuclear-grade zirconium production mainly composes steps of zirconium tetrachloride …
Zircon is separated from heavy mineral concentrate at the mineral separation plants at Tronox's Chandala, KZN Sands and Namakwa Sands operations. Ceramics is the main application for zircon. The opacifying properties and whiteness together with abrasion and moisture resistance make it a key ingredient in ceramic tiles, sanitary ware and ...
Plasma processing of zircon-carbon mixtures to convert the silicate mineral to zirconium dioxide with concurrent removal of silica was studied. Zircon sand was mixed with carbon powder and processed in a specially designed nontransferred arc plasma reactor operated using air as plasma medium.
