The attraction of glass particles modeling quartz sand grains by capillary collars of aqueous solutions of sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate of different concentrations was experimentally studied. It is shown that the particles attraction in the initial moments of the contact with the spacer liquid is due to the capillary interactions. An additional cohesion of solid particles resulted from the formation of crystallization contacts was observed during the gradual water evaporation and solution saturation.
