The difference is: industrial silicon is a simple substance in pure substances, which is obtained through industrial smelting. Ferrosilicon is an alloy, which melts silicon and iron elements together at a high temperature in a certain proportion to form a product that meets people's specific needs.
The main difference between silicon and ferrosilicon lies in their composition, purity, and applications.
Feature | Silicon | Ferrosilicon |
---|---|---|
Type | Element | Alloy (Iron + Silicon) |
Silicon purity | High (98–99%) | Variable (15%–90%) |
Key uses | Electronics, aluminum, silicones | Steelmaking, casting, mining |
Refinable to solar? | Yes | No (too contaminated) |
