The Specific Surface and Grain-shape of Silica Sands Used for Glass-making

JSGT 1945 V29 T179-T288

Methods for determining the specific surface and shape of sand grains were reviewed and the method adopted in the present investigation was described. The application of this method showed that the grain-shape varies with the grain-size and the variation is dependent in large measure on the mode of origin of the sand.
