In the article, the quartz sand of the “Khiva” deposit was comprehensively researched based on chemical, X–ray phase, IR spectroscopic analyses. According to the results of the analysis, the content of quartz sand is up to 86% α–quartz, as well as a small amount of feldspar, chlorite and calcite minerals. Based on the results of the research, it was determined that enrichment of these sands is required to obtain colorless and transparent glass enamel frits from this raw material.
