What is black sand mining?
Black sand beaches and deposits are common in all of the trans-Pacific countries with volcanoes. The sand is black because of the iron component, derived from the volcano, and this is a trade-able commodity used in steel making. Black sand is mined in New Zealand and sent to Japan for steel-making, but not just for the iron component. The sand also contains titanium as a contaminant and this makes the steel-melt in the furnace somewhat sticky - normally a disadvantage. But this stickier component adheres to the ceramic lining of the blast furnace, and thus prolongs the life of the furnace lining. Steel furnaces require re-lining at intervals, but this is an expensive process, as the furnace has to be pulled out of commission, and allowed to cool before the refractory lining can be replaced. Thus the titanium contaminant is an economic advantage.
