Ketapang area is one of lower part or southern sub-province of West Kalimanatan Province, which is located geographically between 108o40’ and 111o20’ in Longitude and between 0o20’ and 3o04’ in Latitude. This area has various of industrial mineral resources, for example quartz sand. Quartz sand or also calledwith white sand is the reasult of rock weathering that contents main mineral, such as quartz, and felsdpar. Then, the result of weathering is cleaned and transported by water or wind and deposited in the stream side, lake or sea. In this paper will bedescribed concerning to locations, characteristics, and usages of quratz sand in Ketapang area, West Kalimantan Province. Based on chemical or laboratory analysis and interpretation, the quartz sands can be used as glass industry, cement industry material, and moulding industry.

The effect of forming technology on the properties of quartz sand porous materials were researched with the low grade quartz sand along the Yangtze River via the pressureless sintering method in this paper, which lay technology foundation for researching new heat insulating materials. The wear of ball milling media is investigated through adjusting the ball milling parameter via the weigh methods. The results are shown that the porosity of quartz sand porous materials are decreased with increasing a forming pressure. The porosities of Φ30 and Φ50 materials are decreased with increasing a holding pressure time, however, the porosity decreasing rate of Φ30 is slower than that of Φ50. The porosity of Φ50 is higher than that of Φ30 under same forming conditions. Through optimized the forming conditions, the porosity of sintered Φ50 quartz matrix porous materials reaches 54.52% under the forming pressure for 5MPa and the holding pressure time for 5min.

The origin of the large deposits of almost pure white quartz sands which occur within the area occupied by the Tertiary limestones of northern Puerto Rico have long been a source of puzzlement to geologists. The largest areas occur within a mile or so of the seacoast in association with Tertiary deposits but are unconformable with them. Many of them are found in association with the remnants of lagoons which were cut off from the sea by the San Juan formation. Some deposits are also in fairly close association with the latter formation in some places. Smaller areas occur well within the limestone hills. Examinations of limestone outcrops and of residual soils within the limestone hills indicate that a large amount of sand originally came from the solution of layers of impure limestone which formerly overlay the district. It is altogether probable that some of the sands have been blown inland from the broken up San Juan formation and later leached of their lime. There is some evidence to support the theory that some of these sands may have been left in or near their present position along the shore of former lagoons which have since been drained by a slight emergence of the coast. There is but little question but that the smaller deposits several miles inland and well within the limestone hills are the residuum left from the dissolution of the limestones. The whiteness and purity of the sands are due to the soil forming process known as podzolization (acid leaching and eluviation) which in this case has taken place largely under conditions of high rainfall and poor subdrainage and to a less extent under well drained conditions. Some of the deeper deposits which are now well drained have been more or less piled up by the winds since they were bleached. We can therefore state with reasonable assurance that the quartz sands have come from the various sources above mentioned but that they are white because of a high degree of "podzolic" leaching which has affected them since they accumulated. Millions of acres of similar soils which have been carefully studied by soil scientists in the southeastern United States have furnished the evidence for this explanation of the origin of Puerto Rico's white sand deposits.

Cementitious materials cause a great impact on the environment due to the calcination of clinker and the extraction of non-renewable mineral resources. In this work, the replacement of quartz sand from the river by PET sand was evaluated at levels of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Tests were performed in the fresh state through consistency, air retention, density, and incorporated air and in the hardened state for compressive strength, flexural strength, density, capillarity, and water absorption. The results show that PET sand is viable in contents of up to 10%, improving the mechanical properties of the mortar and without compromising its workability and incorporated air properties. Above that level, the loss of properties is very excessive, mainly of workability and incorporated air. The incorporated air of the 30% composition, for example, reaches 24%, an excessive value that impacts the properties of the hardened state, making it impossible to use the material at levels greater than 20%. It is concluded that the use of recycled PET sand is a possibility that contributes to sustainable development, as it reduces the extraction of quartz sand from the river, a non-renewable mineral resource.

Marine sediments of Sambas Waters, West Kalimantan, contain of five groups of minerals such as hydroxide oxides, silicates, sulfides, and carbonates. The dominant mineral in hydroxide oxides group is magnetite that composes about 0.00720% and lowest is 0.00310% of the sediments, followed by hematite, limonite, and rutile. Augite being the dominant mineral in silicate group was found in six samples with highest percentage of 0,.0091%, followed by casiterite and hornblende. Phyrite from the sulfide group, is present in six samples of seven sediment samples with average percentage of <1%. Dolomite is the only mineral that represents carbonate group and it was found in 7 samples with average percentage of less than 1%. While Mica minerals that occur in the study area are muscovite. Muscovite was observed in four sample of seven samples analysed, with highest percentage of 0.000771% and the lowest 0.00018%.Aggregates that have been exploited in the study area are andesite, dacite and sands that compose the alluvium and old volcanic units.

The low grade quartz sands is the main raw material to prepare the unfired porous brick through adjusting the maitenance technology. The compressive strength of brick is higher with the maitenance temperature for 40¡æ. The compressive strength of brick is higher with the longer maitenance time. The high performance brick is prepared via the third technology, the pore of brick is more and uniform, it is bowl shape, that is close pore, which provide the reference for preparing the heat insulating materials. The compressive strength of brick is 1.9MPa, the density is 0.628 g/cm3.
