Chemical Formula:
- Si
Synonyms
- 7440-21-3
- Silicone
Molecular Weight:
- 28.085 g/mol
Industrial Uses:
- Semiconductors
- Lasers
- Concrete
- Cosmetics
- Solar systems
Production Process:
- Production of Silicon via Reduction Process
Silicon can be produced by heating silica and coke in a submerged electric arc furnace to high temperatures. High temperatures are necessary to produce a reaction where the oxygen is eliminated, and leaves Silicon behind.
