SAND is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. It is primarily made up of silica, often in the form of quartz, and can vary in color, texture, and size. SAND is commonly found on beaches, riverbeds, and deserts, and plays a crucial role in various ecosystems. In addition to its natural occurrence, SAND is widely used in construction and manufacturing. It serves as a key ingredient in making concrete, glass, and asphalt. The demand for SAND has increased significantly due to urbanization and infrastructure development, leading to concerns about sustainable sourcing and environmental impact.
