R-S Silicon (Metalleghe Group)

• Principal Investigator

  Microsilica (MS) is a by-product of the silicon metal production with particle size in the range of 30–300 nm. MS, with silicon dioxide content of more than 85%, is commonly used as an additive in Portland cement concretes and fireproof material to improve their properties due to amorphous nature and extremely high surface area. How to better utilize MS resource, especially to low quality MS is one of the main issues of R-S Silicon Company that is being addressed within this project.
