The difference between quartz and mica

Mica and quartz are common minerals that play an important role in mineralogy. Although they are both silicate minerals, there are clear differences between them.


First, mica and quartz are very different in appearance. One of its distinguishing features is that mica exhibits a layered structure that can be easily peeled off into thin flakes. Quartz, on the other hand, is a uniform crystal with no layered structure. Additionally, mica is usually dark in color, such as black, brown, or green, while quartz is usually clear or white.


Secondly, mica and quartz also differ in their physical and chemical properties. The hardness of mica is usually between 2.5 and 4, which is relatively easy to be scratched; while the hardness of quartz is very high, 7, which is a very hard mineral. In addition, mica has good refractive properties and electrical properties, while quartz is an excellent piezoelectric material.

Slove method of the clogging of trommel screen sieve

The drum screen is a simple screening device.  The trommel screen  is easy to close and collect dust, the maintenance is small, the maintenance is simple, and the service life is long. It is a device frequently used in refractory materials, coal, river sand classification, and sandstone classification. The advantage of the trommel screen is that the structure is not complicated so that the device can be quickly operated, and when the trommel has problems, people can easily solve it. But what should I do when the screen of the trommel screen is blocked? The following screen will introduce several ways to solve the phenomenon of blocking the net. The trommel screen sometimes adopts a mechanism added to the fixed frame, and then the mechanism rotates to drive the belt mounted on the belt to continuously smear the surface of the sieve hole, thereby sucking out the raw material particles blocked in the sieve hole. One of the disadvantages in practice is that it produces a lot ...

How to desilting municipal drains and canals?

The river channel sludge filter press is a special equipment, which is used to deal with river channel dredging sludge, lake sludge and sludge brought ashore by cutter suction boats. The equipment adopts the principle of automatic water removal and extrusion dehydration. First, the sludge is introduced into the equipment through a slurry pump, and after pressing and squeezing, the output is clear water and mud cake. This treatment method does not require manual unloading, and the moisture in the mud cake is effectively removed, which can be directly packaged and transported, and the clean water produced can be directly discharged. Automatic processing: The equipment adopts an automatic control system to realize automatic water removal and extrusion dehydration without manual operation, which greatly saves labor costs and time.
