Use of Silicon Carbide Materials in Reduction Smelting of Metallic Silicon and Siliceous Ferroalloys

Authors: K. S. Elkin, A. V. Sivtsov, D. K. Elkin, A. I. Karlina

Published in: Metallurgist | Issue 1-2/2022

Abstract

Industrial implementation of the method of smelting industrial silicon with some fraction of the reducing agent replaced with silicon carbide is exemplified. The prospects for using this method to increase the efficiency of the reduction process and the furnace output are shown. The specific consumption of electricity and the amount of greenhouse gases decrease. Additives have a beneficial effect on the electrical efficiency of the furnace by stabilizing it, thus reducing the number of process control errors.
