Chemically, quartz is nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO 2). When there are no impurities, pure quartz is water-clear and often referred to as “rock crystal”. Impurities can give transparent ...
High-quality quartz (or silicon dioxide) is the only material for this job. If impure quartz is used, the outside materials ...
in the development of a pilot reactor process where hydrogen plasma acts as a quartz reductant to remove oxygen from the silicon dioxide. “It also acts as a refining step because of the very ...
