| This research work introduces the Early Triassic, Late Triassic-Early Jurassic, and Early Cretaceous silica-rich sand levels at east and central Alborz, Kopeh-Dagh, and Central Iran, and compares them with the Permian silica-rich sand level in the Chirouk mine at east Iran. Ghoznavi and Gheshlaq loose sand in Alborz (Early Triassic-Early Jurassic), Soh quartzite in Central Iran (Early Triassic-Early Jurassic), Firuzeh sands with mud levels in Kopeh-Dagh (Early Cretaceous), and Sarnaza in Central Alborz (Late Triassic-Early Jurassic) silica-rich levels are studied in this work. Geochemical analysis and physical factors of the studied silica levels are checked regarding grain size, heat resistance, and steel molding. The laboratory and industrial methods used for washing, sieving, heating, molding, and controlling the purity of refractory sand levels show that the main difficulty of these levels within the molding process is intra-grain cracks, which spoils the alloy’s final product. The Early Triassic level in the Ghoznavi area has a high purity but the average grain size is below the steel molding standard. The Late Triassic to Early Jurassic levels in Alborz and Central Iran are oversize with grain cracks but can be fixed by the industrial refinery methods. The size of Early Cretaceous refractory sands of Firuzeh (Kopeh-Dagh) is below the standard molding process; it can be fixed by the washing and refinery methods. The systematic exploration methods show that all the studied silica-rich sand levels have an intra-grain collapse within the molding process. Final test shows that the Chirouk silica-rich levels can be used as refractory sand for cast and molding in the steel industry. | ||
