Chemical Evaluation of the Glass Making Potentials of Silica Sand Deposits Along Cross River in Cross River State, South–East of Nigeria

Abstract: Analytical techniques such as X–ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) coupled with statistical package for multivariate analyses were used to characterize silica sand deposit obtained along Cross River in Cross River State, South Eastern Nigeria. Samples were collected from five locations along the river which include: Ikom-Okuni, Obubra-Ofumbogha, Abi-Ediba, Biase-Agwagune and Etung-Effraya. The results of analyses revealed that silicon dioxide (SiO2) forms the predomina… Show more

“…A higher or lower pH indicates the presence of either acidic or basic oxides in each silica sand specimen, which in this case was found to be 4.28. This value is close to neutral (7.00) and could be used for glass making [48].…”
