What is Silicon Metal?
Silicon metal, also known as Silicon Metal, is an important material with a variety of industrial applications. It is a widely used inorganic compound, commonly found in ores in nature, and is one of the abundant non-metallic materials in the earth's crust. Silicon metal is mainly a compound of silicon dioxide and carbon dioxide, with a chemical formula of SiO2. It is mainly made of minerals such as silica, quartz, and quartz sand, and is a product made through processes such as ore selection, crushing, pulverization, grinding, and melting.
