Abstract
The vast quantities of different beach sand minerals left behind after the extraction of rare earth compounds are industrial wastes. These can be utilized to develop various products in the form of synthetic raw materials or finished product, for applications in glass and ceramic industries. In this paper, the present research work on sillimanite sand, garnet sand and zircon sand are discussed. Attempts have been made to find out the possible uses of these minerals, particularly in the field of glass and ceramic as the materials developed from these minerals are cost competitive. Properties and microstructure of the products developed are systematically discussed.
