Silicon Metal (7440-21-3) by Anyang Xinlongsen Metallurgical Material Co.,Ltd (XLS Metals )

Silicon metal is a type of monomeric silicon, so there is no metallic silicon in natural ores. Silicon in nature is usually found in the form of oxides, such as silicon dioxide. Silicon metal is not a metal, it is mainly smelted from quartz stone containing silicon dioxide at high temperatures into different grades of silicon metal, and silicon metal with high silicon content is smelted by reducing silicon from silicon dioxide using carbides such as petroleum coke or semi-coke as a reducing agent.

At present, China is the country that produces silicon in abundance, due to the natural advantages of raw materials, making China the main producer of silicon metal. According to the global silicon metal export share analysis survey in 2021, China's annual silicon metal export volume accounts for 83% of the total global silicon metal export volume, which is about 777,800 tons.
