The zircon sand is mineral mainly containing ZrSiO4. The pure zircon sand is a kind of colorless a transparent crystal and shows different colors such as yellow, orange, red and brown due to different origins, types of impurities and content, and also coexists in beach sand with ilmenite, rutile,monazite, etc. The zircon sand can be separated by beneficiation process.

The zircon sand is mainly used for fireproof materials (commonly called zirconium fireproof materials such as corundum bricks and zirconium fireproof fiber), sand for casting mould in casting industry (precision casting sand) and fine enamelware. In addition，the zircon sand is also used in the production of glass, metal (zirconium sponge) and zirconium compounds (zirconium dioxide，zirconium oxychloride, sodium zirconate,zirconium potassium fluoride, zirconium sulfate, etc.).
