Technical Brief on Minerals in Nigeria: Silica Sand/Quartz, 2003

                                                                                                     ISBN: 978-2043-89-3

Silica sand and quartz are found in six basins in Nigeria.  These basins include the Niger basin, Bida basin, Dahomey embayment, Benue trough, Sokoto and Chad basins.  Silica sand and quartz constitutes one of the most readily available geological materials used in glass manufacturing companies.  Silica sand and quartz consist of high optimal percentage of silicon dioxide (S₁ Q₂) a chemically stable element that remains almost the same, no matter the series of cycles it might have gone through, either in transportation or redeposition.  The brief could stimulate further characterization of crystal quartz and silica sand resources in the country and in turn generate awareness in optimal development and utilization of silica sand and quartz in Nigeria.
