Earth running out of sand? Don't panic, there is a way!

Some 23 billion tons of sand and gravel were extracted globally in 2010 alone, according to a report planned for 2016 by the United Nations Environment Programme. Sand and gravel are being extracted faster than they can be recovered, and the earth is running out of sand!

Sand is the second most consumed natural resource after fresh water. It is used to build houses, roads and Bridges, and to make mobile phone chips. At present around the rising river sand and building sand prices seem to be supporting the shortage of sand, this is really our generation and the next generation will face a big problem!

But there is no need to panic.

As we know, both natural sand and sea sand are the result of long-term action of nature. Once mining is completed, it cannot be quickly supplemented in a short time under natural conditions, while mechanical sand can be supplemented in a short time. At present, relatively mature machine-made sand preparation technology has been formed in the industry, and the current technology has been able to produce machine-made sand comparable to natural sand.

Yuhong machine's new HVI impact sand making equipment can produce standard machine-made sand. The humanized equipment makes the equipment simple to maintain and convenient to use. It can be very effective to make marble, pebbles, potash feldspar, iron ore and other stone materials into different particle sizes of small stones and sand, the production of finished products with uniform particle size and good quality.

On the other hand, there are tons of mine tailings stacked in Our country, and the strength of infrastructure construction is increasing, the number of tailings and construction waste is gradually increasing, if the rational use of it, not only can save a large number of stone resources, but also the corresponding environmental protection policy, kill multiple birds with one stone.

In this way, the sand and stone on the earth can be used sustainably through reasonable mining of natural sand and increasing expenditure of income.
