Recovery and processing of zircon from Murray Basin mineral sand …
Mineral sand deposits in the Murray Basin offer the potential for significantly expanding Australia's production of ilmenite, rutile and zircon. Since prices of zircon and rutile are higher than ilmenite, and zircon grades in most deposits are significantly higher than those for rutile, zircon often is the major economic mineral component in mineral …

AN OVERVIEW OF SOUTH AFRICA'S ZIRCON
Zircon is used in refractories as foundry sand moulds. It is also used as a corrosion resistant metal in nuclear reactors and chemical processing equipment. Zircon sand applications include glazes in pottery and ceramics. Chromite and olivine can be used as a substitute for some foundry applications, whilst dolomite and spinel refractories

The measurement of radiation levels in Australian zircon milling plants
The processing of zircon often involves grinding it to a fine powder known as zircon flour. As the resulting particles are small they may be inhaled if they become airborne and, since they contain some uranium and thorium, deliver radiation doses to workers. Theoretical estimates and measured radiation exposure in Australian zircon milling plants are …

mining-technologyWhat is zircon sand?Zircon sand belongs to a series of minerals called heavy mineral sands . In the evaluation of deposits that also carry zircon , their content of titanium minerals (ilmenite, rutile and leucoxene) almost always plays a greater role than their zircon content.Zircon Sand: An Important Raw Material | SpringerLink
link.springerWhich country produces the most zircon?Australia has the world's largest resources of zircon (about 35% of the world's zircon). Australia also produces more zircon than any other country; in 2016 alone, 560 kt of zircon concentrate was exported from Australia. Most of this material was extracted from heavy mineral sand deposits in Victoria and Western Australia.Zircon | Geoscience Australia
