Abstract:The Yellow River has rich sand resource and is usually silted. It occurrs a large number of quartz sand resources. Thus, it has a practical significance to give a scientific and rational assessment to these resources by using geological means, explore the use in the future, and provide a basis for developing. On the basis of regional geological surveys, geophysical DC sounding, drilling, sampling, analysis and other technical means, quality, distribution, occurrence conditions of sand quartz, the topography, surfaces and geological conditions of the ancient Yellow River, quartz sand holding amounts and development prospect have been initially identified.
