The surging demand for solar panels is a significant driver of the silicon metal market. Silicon, the most common semiconductor material in solar cells, accounts for approximately 95% of modules sold today. Refiners turn metallurgical-grade silicon into high-purity silicon for use in semiconductors and solar cells. Consequently, manufacturers can use it in the production of … Continue reading "Solar Panel Demand Drives the Silicon Metal Market"

During the steelmaking process, factors such as extended smelting, heat preservation, and excessive heating can result in significant carbon loss from the molten iron, leading to a lower carbon content than the desired level. To compensate for this carbon loss, carburizers are added. These carbon-rich materials are made from various sources like wood, coal, coke, … Continue reading "What is a carbon raiser?"
