It is an important part of a typical holiday fantasy, the white sandy beach at the turquoise-blue sea Sand is a sedimentary rock whose composition can be very different depending on the place of origin. As a rule, the main component is quartz, although there may also be other types of sand, such as shell or coral sand, which are composed of sand grains of various sizes. Due to its large pore volume, sand serves as a central storage medium for drinking water, but also for natural gas and crude oil.As a component in civil engineering and earthworks as well as for the semiconductor and glass industry, sand plays an important economic role as a raw material. Concrete applications include aggregates for concrete or as raw materials for cement production. In addition, sand is also successfully used for sandblasting or as a polishing or scouring agent. Furthermore, sand with a high silicon content is used as a central component in the production of semiconductors and thus also in the production of electronic components.The economic importance of sand will continue to increase in the future, because the scarcity of easily extractable oil deposits will increase prices. As a consequence, funding methods that were considered unprofitable years ago are now worthwhile. Against this background, the importance of oil sands, as they are available in large quantities in Canada, is also increasing.
