PRODUCTION OF SILICON CARBIDE

Silicon Carbide is obtained starting from high purity sands and quartzs and petroleum coke which are reacted in an electrical furnace at 2000º C, according to the following reaction :

SiO2 + 3C => SIC + 2CO

Once the crude is obtained, it will be elaborated according to a process which will guarantee a quality final product.

Basically, the main steps for the manufacturing process are : selection, grinding, magnetic separation, dust absorption, sieving, mixing and packing.
