The Silicon product
21 Oct 2022
The silicon product produced during the pilot experiments at Elkem is a silicon-aluminium alloy. The alloy itself is of interest to the partners in the aluminium industry: Fundiciones Rey SL and Hydro. The silicon can be refined to make metallurgical grade silicon, which is of interest for Elkem, Wacker and DOW. At Silicor materials, further refinements can be done to reach solar grade silicon.
