The invention discloses an efficient purification method for quartz sand. In the method, two-section smashing (rough smashing and fine smashing) and ore milling with a rod mill are adopted, so that the production capacity is increased greatly, unit energy consumption is lowered, and the method is suitable for large-scale production. A method for removing weakly-magnetic minerals and intergrowth quartz with high iron content from quartz sand through advanced ore washing and weakly magnetic-high gradient strongly magnetic combined magnetic separation before ore milling is adopted, so that the purity of quartz sand is increased greatly. The method has the advantages of simple process flow, easiness for operating, low cost, high purification efficiency, stable performance and environmental friendliness of a produced product, no use of any chemical substance in an entire production process, no production of any waste water, waste residues and waste gas, true realization of zero emission, no production of waste and prevention of pollution. The method is not limited by the production scale, various quartz sand products of low, medium and high grades can be produced, the enterprise profit can be maximized, and the method has a wide application prospect on the aspect of purification of quartz sand.
