Abstract: Manufacturing of silicate ceramics causes a huge consumption of inorganic minerals, which worsens land resources and results in serious environmental pollution. Seeking for alternative raw materials to produce ceramics is an effective method to solve these problems. China possesses a tremendous desert-sand resource, its composition species is similar to that of silicate ceramics. Using desert sand as a raw material to synthesize silicate ceramic products has a great industrial advantage and potential, which connects the low-cost manufacturing, economization of mineral and land resources, improvement of ecological environment of land and desert to sustainable development. However, there are few researches and applications in this field so far. Therefore, this paper reviews the latest research fruits of using desert sand to synthesize ceramics in domestic and abroad, analyzes the characteristics of densification, phase transformation, microstructure and properties of the desert-sand ceramics, discusses the effects of the chemical composition and microstructure of desert sand on forming process and mechanism of the ceramics, points out the problems that exist in the field and the synthesis process of desert-sand ceramics, as well as the specific solutions, ultimately, proposes the future research directions and predicts the prospect of developments. This review shows that desert sand is a valuable raw material resource for the synthesis of silicate ceramics, its chemical composition and microstructure have a great facilitation effect on the synthesis and pro-perties of the ceramics. Various desert-sand ceramic materials with excellent properties can be developed by optimizing the ratio of raw materials and the preparation techniques. This information is helpful to understand the technical advantages of using desert sand to synthesize ceramics and has an important guidance for promoting the research, development and application of desert-sand ceramic materials.
