• Foundry applications: Zircon sand is directly used in foundry applications as a moulding material due to its high refractoriness and thermal stability

• Refractories: Zircon sand is used in refractories to improve the thermal shock resistance of products.

• Ceramics: Zircon sand is used in ceramics to improve the mechanical strength and durability of products.

• Opacifier: Zircon sand is used as an opacifier in the production of ceramics, glass, and porcelain.

• Fused zirconia: Zircon sand is converted into fused zirconia, which is used in the production of refractories, ceramics, and abrasives

• Zirconium chemicals: Zircon sand is used to produce zirconium chemicals, which are used in the production of pigments, coatings, and catalysts

• Zirconium metal: Zircon sand is used to produce zirconium metal, which is used in the production of fuel cladding, chemical processing equipment, and other applications
