1. A process for producing frac sand comprising:
(a) passing sub-standard frac sand at least one time through at least one jet pump under processes and conditions sufficient to improve sub-standard frac sand into frac sand with at least the following properties: a sphericity value of 0.6 or greater, and a roundness value of 0.6 or greater; and (b) recovering the improved frac sand and/or the frac sand with the desired properties.
