Quartz sand, also known as silica sand, is a silica material processed or chemically synthesized from natural crystal and quartz minerals. Quartz products have the characteristics of high hardness and low coefficient of expansion, and perform well in high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, light transmission, chemical stability, electrical insulation, etc. Silica sand is an important industrial mineral raw material, which is widely used in glass, foundry, ceramics and refractory materials, metallurgy, construction, chemical industry, plastics, rubber and abrasives and other industrial fields. The elements such as Ni, Fe, Cr, Mg, Cu, Ti and Ba contained in it have an important impact on its properties and uses. Therefore, accurate determination of the content of these elements is of great significance for controlling product quality and uses.

The Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) for East-West Analysis is a high-precision analytical instrument that can simultaneously determine the content of various elements. It has the advantages of high sensitivity and good accuracy. It is widely used in the analysis and inspection of various material compositions in industrial production. In this paper, according to the method of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry in the national standard GBT3284-2015, after optimizing the detection conditions, a method for the determination of the content of various elements such as Ni, Fe, Cr, Mg, Cu, Ti and Ba in quartz sand by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method is established, which can be used for reference by relevant personnel.
