Characterization of silica sand from grinding and sieving, for use and handling as raw materials by dry means

Abstract

Objectives The present research work allows to apply the grinding and sieving in the characterization of raw materials by dry way in Chemical Engineering in the same way it allows studying the behavior of the diameters and the distribution of the particles from the sand screening silica, whose purpose is to determine the efficiency in the grinding of solids, in the sieving of particles of different sizes from Tyler sieves, whose purpose is to characterize the silica sand as solid raw materials by dry way, related to the different applications of the unit operations such as: in the glass, ceramic, metallurgy, foundry, construction, abrasive and drying industries. Methodology This article describes the methodology of the grinding and sieving of silica sand in the laboratory of Chemical plants of the Technological University of the southeast of Veracruz, from which the operation is developed and obtaining its efficiency, as a product in the mesh 70, from the screening and characterization of this solid raw material by dry method. for later uses in industry and in Chemical Engineering. Contribución Las industrias hoy en día requieren del analisis de sus materias primas de acuerdo a las especificaciones de los clientes, es por ello que la molienda y el tamizado ha permitido a la ingeniería Química un amplio desarrollo en las operaciones unitarias, así como la mejora de la calidad en los productos solidos ya sea por vía seca o húmeda, en este proyecto se desarrolla un tratamiento por vía seca de la arena silica. a partir de la molienda en un molino de bolas y tamizado en un tamizador Axial desarrollado en el Laboratorio de plantas de la Universidad Tecnológica del Sureste de Veracruz, se pretende comercializarlo con empresas del ramo, como: MADISA, cuyo propósito sea aplicarlo en la producción, elaboración y manufactura de envases de color ámbar ya se medicinal o envases de cerveza (Retsch, 2012).
