. At present, with the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, high-purity quartz stone is mainly used to make quartz crucibles, which requires high quality of quartz sand ore." But only the United States and India can supply quartz sand steadily in the world. Industry insiders
have analyzed that the global reserves of high-purity quartz are limited and show a downward trend. It is expected that the supply and demand of high-purity quartz sand will be tight in 2023, and there is a possibility of sustained price increases.
At the same time, as a non-renewable resource, synthetic quartz sand is an inevitable trend to replace natural quartz sand in the long-term market.
The data show that synthetic quartz sand has the advantages of larger purification space and longer life of quartz crucible made of it, which is highly anticipated.
On February 7, Jianghan New Material said on the interactive platform that the company has 6N grade high-purity quartz sand synthesis technology. The industrialization construction project with an annual output of 2000 tons of high-purity quartz sand, one of the projects raised in February, is the industrialization project of this technology, which has not yet been realized.
It is understood that the industrialization construction project of Jianghan New Material with an annual output of 2000 tons of high-purity quartz sand has started construction in December 2022, with a construction period of 36 months . It is currently in the preparatory stage of the project, including the construction of factory roads and underground pipelines.
However, although the development of synthetic quartz sand is highly anticipated, it is still too early to replace natural quartz sand. In addition to the long road of industrialization in the research and development and experimental stage, the cost of synthetic quartz sand is much higher than that of natural sand, which may be the biggest obstacle to industrial development.
