Silicon is a chemical element primarily used as a semiconductor, where it is used to make transistors. It is widely used in computer chips and solar cells, which is the main application of silicon in the electronics industry. In addition, in the construction sector, it works as a major constituent in ceramics and bricks and is a crucial element of Portland cement and fire bricks.
In housing, it is also used for waterproofing systems, many mold release agents, and molding compounds. Furthermore, it is also a ferrosilicon component– an alloy with extensive application in the steel industry. Additionally, in the cosmetic industry, it is used as a lubricant in some cosmetics and hair conditioners. Also, silicon carbides are essential lasers and abrasives.
Its wide usage in computer chips, solar cells, construction materials, and making transistors is what drives its market. It significantly increases its demand in the semiconductor & electronics, solar, renewable energy & solar, and construction industries. Moreover, it is used in the form of silicon wafers in integrated circuits, silicon diodes, and various other electronic and switching devices, which further enhances its demand in the electronics industry.
Additionally, it also serves as material for manufacturing automotive components like hoses, gaskets, windshields, etc., which amplifies its demand in the automotive and aerospace industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial silicon procurement, such as the cost and availability of its feedstock (quartz, coke, and coal), the market prices of silicon, environmental regulations, and its distribution, which includes trading and transportation, logistics, etc.
Raw Material for Silicon Production
According to the Silicon manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Silicon production include Coke-Coal-Quartz.
Manufacturing Process of Silicon
The extensive Silicon production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:
- Production Via Reduction: The reaction initiates in a reduction furnace where a mixture of various carbon materials, including coke, coal, or charcoal, is reduced with quartz, which produces liquid silicon. The final product is obtained after processing that involves oxidative refining, casting, crystallization and crushing.
Silicon (Si) is a chemical element present in glass and sand that is the best semiconductor material in electronic components. It is abundantly present in the crust of the earth and is the second most abundant electropositive element and the seventh most abundant element in the universe. Despite its metal-like properties and appearance, it cannot be classified as a metal. Silicon is the most common isotope with the atomic number 14 and atomic weight of 28 with four valence electrons. It appears to be a metal-like substance in its pure state that resembles aluminium.
It is the 14th element on the periodic table. It is a non-metallic chemical element belonging to the carbon family. It has an atomic mass of 28.0855 g mol -1 and a density of 2.33 grams/cm3. It has melting and boiling points of 1,410 °C and 3,265 °C. It comprises several series of hydrides, many halides (many containing silicon-silicon bounds) and multiple series of compounds (containing oxygen), which can have ionic or covalent properties.
