Industrial silicon,also called metal silicon,is a product made by smelting silica as raw material and carbonaceous raw material as reducing agent in an electric furnace, and then refining it in a mineral thermal furnace.Additional products of metallic silicon include microsilicon powder, edge silicon, black silicon, metallic silicon slag, etc.

一、The Main Application of Industrial Silicon

In the aluminum alloy industry, industrial silicon can be used to replace pure aluminum in the steelmaking process, which can improve the utilization rate of deoxidizers and enhance the quality of steel.

Can be used as an additive for non-ferrous alloys, as a deoxidizer for smelting special steel and non-ferrous alloys.

In the chemical industry, industrial silicon is used to produce organic silicon such as silicone rubber, silicone resin, and silicone oil.

Meanwhile, industrial silicon can be purified through a series of processes to produce polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon for use in the photovoltaic and electronics industries.

二、The Upstream and Downstream of Industrial Silicon

The upstream of industrial silicon mainly as the raw material supplyment,including vein quartz, quartzite, quartz sandstone.Industrial silicon has a wide range of downstream applications, which can be subdivided into polycrystalline silicon, organic silicon, and alloy silicon according to industry application products.

三、The Significance of Mingde's Optoelectronics Sorting Tech for Industrial Silicon

The Mingde Mining Color Sorting Machine and Artificial Intelligence Sorting Machine are equipment involved in the upstream, midstream, and downstream of industrial silicon. They sort the raw materials according to their usage, such as removing impurities from silica, throwing out high iron content silica or pebbles to select silica.

Excluding impurities or foreign objects in metallic silicon, silicon slag is sorted to recover industrial silicon.In the future,Mingde's optoelectronics sorting machine will rebuild the industrial silicon industry.
