Abstract/NotesThree quartz-rich geologic materials—vein quartz from the Great Bear Magmatic Zone, massive quartz from the Nechalacho rare earth deposit, and quartz sands from the Chedabucto silica sand deposit along the shores of the Northern Arm of the Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories of Canada—were evaluated for their amenability to physical beneficiation into high-purity quartz (HPQ). The samples were subjected to various treatment processes, including crushing, grinding, calcining and quenching, acid leaching, wet high-intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS), and reverse flotation. After treatment, both the core and sand quartz samples met the requirements for HPQ, making them suitable for use in the production of semiconductor filters, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and optical glass. However, the Al-bearing impurity content in the vein quartz products remained relatively high, and most of these impurities were dispersed in the quartz lattice, requiring further processing to meet the purity standards for HPQ required by these industries.
