Get PriceSilicon metal, which generally is produced like ferrosilicon in submerged-arc electric furnaces, is used not as a ferroalloy, but rather for alloying with aluminum and for production of chemicals, especially silicones. Small quantities of silicon are processed into high-purity silicon for
Get PriceR-S Silicon was founded in 2012 by Metalleghe Spa Italy. It was a greenfield investment for the silicon metal production factory. The silicon metal is our primary product and the silica fume is a secondary product.
Get PriceThe 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
