Producing silicon metal is extremely energy intensive due to the necessary purification process. As a result, it is imperative that a long term, a stable energy source is available. This, along with the large deposits of raw materials needed to produce the metal, means that while certain production areas may succeed, others may not. The demand for silicon metal is heading in an upward

The basic process for producing silicon has remained unchanged for decades: quartz or gravel (SiO2) is blended with a carbon source and superheated in a submerged arc furnace. As the mix heats, the carbon reacts with the oxygen in the quartz and forms CO gas, thereby reducing the quartz to 99% silicon in molten form. Next, the liquid silicon is drained, or tapped, from the bottom of the

Ferrosilicon is a silicon-iron alloy composed of silicon and iron in a certain proportion and is mainly used for steelmaking, casting and other ferroalloy production. Ferrosilicon will react deoxygenation with steel, formula as: 2FeO+Si=2Fe+SiO2. So as to deoxidize oxygen and improve the quality of steel, including enhance the hardness, intensity and toughness, also increase the magnetic conductivity. Melting point
