When mechanical stress is put upon it, it creates electricity through a process called 'piezoelectricity'. Naturally occurring quartz crystals of extremely high purity, necessary for the crucibles and other equipment used for growing silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry, are expensive and rare.
The physical and chemical properties of Quartz include:
* Composition: Silicon, (SiO2), tetrahedral
* Structure: Hexagonal
* Hardness (on Mohs scale): 7
* Density: 2.65 g/cm
For extracting Quartz, we have our own mines in Tamil Nadu, India from where the ore is supplied to semiconductor manufacturers. Our unit is facilitated with a crushing machine that makes the quartz in powder forms and granular forms, for various uses in artificial marbles and ceramic manufacturing.
Uses of Quartz:
* As a phonograph pickup
* As a crystal oscillator
* Used in a large number of circuits for consumer electronics products such as computers, cell phones, televisions, radios, and electronic games
