Abstract
There are several silica sand deposits in Sinai, but they require upgrading to provide a raw materials
acceptable for the glass manufacture. This study records beneficiation of low-grade silica sand deposits
near Um Bogma at west central Sinai. The improvement techniques of ore dressing involving wet sieving,
attrition scrubbing, decantation, gravimetric and magnetic separations have been applied depending on the
physical properties of the constituents.
