    Author(s): Huzaifa Mohammed Adam Harameen*

    Sudan is an African country that is located in northeast Africa it borders the countries of central African republic, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya, South Sudan, and the Red Sea. However, like the other African countries Sudan is rich with minerals. White quartz is one of these very abundant minerals in Sudan. Moreover, the purity of the Sudanese sand is extremely high and it can be used as raw material in many industries directly without treatment. One of these big industries is the production of sodium silicate. Sudanese quartz was examined as a raw material in sodium silicate production, in which different sample from the most well-known sand areas in Sudan (i.e. Bara, Elmatama, Nile beach, and concrete sand in Omdurman). Sieve analysis and chemical analysis were done for the sample to measure the particle size and the chemical purity of the sand respectively. The .. View more»
