AbstractQuartz sand deposits of Kerala are mainly confined to the Alleppey-Chavakkad belt on the western coast of Kerala. For evaluating this rich deposit, extensive physico-chemical characterization has been carried out. The feasibility of utilizing this resource in the preparation of vitrified flooring tiles, refractory bricks, silicon carbide, optical and ophthalmic glasses and in foundry applications has been discussed.
