The quality of the raw materials required for the manufacture of high-grade glass is good. Not only the raw materials such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , K 2 O, Na 2 O, CaO, MgO and the like have certain requirements, but the content does not require stability, and Fe, The harmful components such as Cd should be low. Otherwise, the glass is colored, bubbles, glassy or smeared. However, in the manufacturing of glass and certain common household utensils, when the quality of raw material can be appropriately lowered, the following types of mine tailings can consider the use of: 1, silica-rich quartz vein type gold ore, tungsten ore 2, quartzite, feldspar-rich pegmatite-type antimony ore; 3, rich in calcite , dolomite and fluorite carbonate deposits. When the content of harmful impurities is very low, it can be used to make glass separation for different purposes according to the quality of tailings.

In addition, in order to save the consumption of soda ash in the glass, the Shanghai Institute of Chemical Technology recently conducted a survey on the use of granite- type tailings as a glass raw material, and conducted preliminary melting glass tests on the tailings of the two mines. From the mineral composition of the mine tailings investigated, the main minerals are feldspar, quartz, followed by mica minerals, and the chemical composition is very close. Hefei Glass Factory used porcelain stone as raw material to produce bottle and glass. Shanghai Glassware Factory and No.8 Factory of Shanghai Dailyware Company also produced brown medicinal bottles and food cans with porcelain stone and Suqian sand. Therefore, it is entirely possible to use granite type tailings as raw materials for certain glass products. The chemical composition of the ore and tailings of each type of granite is shown in Table 6.

In the production of glass from feldspar tailings, in order to avoid staining the glass, producing bubbles, glass or stains due to excessive iron content in the tailings, it is necessary to study the iron-containing substances and symbiotic or associated minerals in the tailings. The relationship, the crystal inlay size, etc., in order to be able to separate and reduce the iron content in the tailings. For tailings with high aluminum content, it can be used to make bottle glass, alkali ball in fiber, low alkali boron-free glass, etc. From the perspective of developing new varieties of building materials, use tailings to make colored microcrystalline plate glass, color Glass-ceramic "mosaic", colored glass-ceramic facing tiles, and other glass-ceramic building materials have broad application prospects.
