Products Description

The majority of silicon refined each year - about 80 percent - is produced as ferrosilicon for use in iron and steelmaking. Ferrosilicon can contain anywhere between 15 and 90 percent silicon depending on the requirements of the smelter.

The alloy of iron and silicon is produced using a submerged electric arc furnace via reduction smelting. Silica-rich ore and a carbon source such as coking coal (metallurgical coal) are crushed and loaded into the furnace along with scrap iron.

At temperatures over 1900°C (3450°F), carbon reacts with the oxygen present in the ore, forming carbon monoxide gas. The remaining iron and silicon, meanwhile, then combine to make molten ferrosilicon, which can be collected by tapping the base of the furnace. Once cooled and hardened, the ferrosilicon can then be shipped and used directly in iron and steel manufacturing.

The same method, without the inclusion of iron, is used to produce metallurgical grade silicon that is greater than 99 percent pure. Metallurgical silicon is also used in steel smelting, as well as the manufacture of aluminum cast alloys and silane chemicals.
