Natural sand

Primaiy crushers used are jaw, gyratoiy, impact, and toothed roll crushers. Impact mills are hmited to hmestone and softer stone. With rocks containing more than 5 percent quartz, maintenance of hammers may become prohibitive. Gyratoiy and cone crushers dominate the field for secondaiy crushing of hard and tough stone. Rod mills have been employed to manufacture stone sand when natural sands are not available.

Natural sand is a major component of most flowable fill mixes. Ferrous spent foundry sand can be used as substitute for natural sand (fine aggregate) in flowable fill.48 49 Spent sands from nonferrous foundries and foundry baghouse dust can contain high concentrations of heavy metals that may preclude their use in flowable fill applications. Some of the engineering properties of spent foundry sand that are of particular interest when foundry sand is used in flowable fill applications include particle shape, gradation, strength characteristics, soundness, deleterious substances, and corrosivity. 

Calculation examples of mixed surfactant adsorption The solid chosen as the model adsorbent was made up of a natural sand (specific area =380 cm2/g) mixed with 5% clay (Charentes kaolinite with specific area = 26.8 m2/g). This material was taken as a model of clayey sandstone reservoirs. 

Coarse aggregate was crushed limestone with a maximum size of 19 mm. Fine aggregate was natural sand. Air-entraining admixture was a sulfonated hydrocarbon.

Glass is a product of the super-cooUng of a melted hquid mixture consisting primarily of sand (silicon dioxide) and soda ash (sodium carbonate) to a rigid condition, in which the super cooled material does not crystaUize and retains the organization and internal structure of the melted hquid. When waste glass is crushed to sand size particles, similar to those of natural sand, it exhibits properties of an aggregate material [207-214]. 

MSW combustor ash is a relatively lightweight material compared to natural sands and aggregate. The bulk specific gravities that were reported range from 1.5-2.2 for sand-size or fine particles and 1.9-2.4 for coarse particles, compared to approximately 2.6-2.8 for conventional aggregate materials. 

Some foundries use naturally bonded sand. This is sand which contains a natural percentage of clay. Only water needs to be added in order to activate the binding capacity. If needed, some additives may be mixed as well. The approximate composition of natural sand is given in Table 2.8. 

Natural sand, which is found ready-mixed in nature, does not have the same high demands for mixing equipment as synthetic sand. It is mainly used in small-sized non-ferrous (e.g. copper) foundries and is not used in foundries casting iron and steel. 

Natural aggregates derived from natural deposits are known as gravels, sand-gravels or natural sand. They can be found in a slightly consolidated form in old streambeds or stream banks, in plateaus created during the postglacial era and in estuaries of rivers, streams... 

The aggregates should consist of crushed stone, crushed gravel or crushed slag (air cooled, blast furnaced) with or without natural sand or other inert, finely divided mineral aggregate, provided they meet the requirements summarised in Table 5.12. 

The aggregates in the Type II mixture should be natural sand and gravels with or without crushed aggregate materials as per Type I.
