Not really, you need a lot of heat (pure quartz melts at about 1780 C). If you add some other stuff (like lead, sodium oxides, calcium oxides) you can lower the melting point considerably.

Does the sand melt the ice?

Sand doesn't melt ice to any noticeable degree. However, sand picks up heat from sunlight better than pure ice, which can speed up melting a little bit.


Can sand melt at 300 degrees?

No, sand does not melt at 300 degrees Celsius. Sand, primarily made of silicon dioxide, has a melting point of approximately 1,700 degrees Celsius. At 300 degrees, sand would not melt but may undergo some physical changes like expansion or decomposition depending on its composition.

How long does it take sand to melt ice?

It depends on the temperature of the sand and the ice! Sand does not dissolve in water to any significant extent, so that mixing sand with ice will not lower the melting point of the ice. If there is a sufficient amount of sand and it has a temperature above the freezing point of water, sand will eventually melt ice by heat conduction from the sand to the ice. If the sand has a lower temperature than the ice, mixing them will never produce melting of the ice.
