Classification of quartzites by gasification from a ...

2017-4-18  Considerable time is required for industrial tests to assess the utility of quartz and quartzites in the production of silicon ferroalloys. A relatively simple method of classifying quartzite with respect to the production of silicon, ferroalloys, carborundum, and carborundum-bearing reducing agents has been devised on theoretical principles and introduced in practice. This method is based on ...
