Abstract : In this investigation, the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of Jordanian silica sand at Ras En-Naqab were studied. The possibility of extracting the sand from its ores to obtain a sand with a high content of SiO2 and less content of impurities, espe- cially Fe2O3, by designing a processing flow chart for treatment and purification of the sand was achieved based on the physical separation of the undesirable particles through particle grading. The results showed that the designed processing flow chart raises the content of SiO2 to 99.63% and lowers the content of Fe2O3 to 0.014%. The pro- cessed sand characteristics were compared to the composition and characteristics of sands used for the Glass Industry and Filtration. It was found that this sand meet the specification after processing.
