Silica sand in Nigeria: buy by the spec, not by the truck
Not all white sand is silica sand you can use. Glass makers need very high silica and very little iron, foundries need the right grain shape, and water filters need clean, graded sand. Nigeria has good deposits along the coast and in several inland states, and the country’s glass plants already run on local sand. The work is in washing, grading and testing.
