DESCRIPTION
High carbon silicon (HC Si) is a special type of silicon containing a high percentage of carbon (typically between 3-4%). HC Si is produced through the carbothermic reduction of quartz or silica in an electric arc furnace. The process involves mixing high-purity quartz with carbon and heating the mixture in an electric arc furnace, where the carbon reduces the silica to silicon and the carbon becomes incorporated into the silicon lattice.
HC Si has several uses in various industries, including:
Steelmaking: HC Si is used as a deoxidizing agent in steelmaking to remove oxygen from the melt and improve the mechanical properties of the steel.
Foundry Industry: HC Si is used as an inoculant in the foundry industry to promote the formation of graphite in cast iron, which improves its mechanical properties.
Chemical Industry: HC Si is used in the chemical industry to produce high-purity silicones, which have a wide range of applications in industries such as electronics, healthcare, and construction.
Aluminum Production: HC Si is also used as a reducing agent in the production of aluminum from bauxite, where it reduces the aluminum oxide to aluminum.
Solar Industry: HC Si is used in the solar industry to produce solar cells and photovoltaic panels, where it is used as a dopant to improve the electrical conductivity of silicon.
