I-Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) yenye yezona zinto zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwiinkqubo zoshishino, ngokukodwa kwimveliso ye-sulfuric acid kunye neempendulo ezahlukeneyo ze-oxidation. Iimpawu zayo ezizodwa zeekhemikhali, uzinzo, kunye nokukwazi ukuququzelela ukuphendulwa kwe-redox kwenza kube lukhetho oluhle kakhulu lwe-catalysis. Eli nqaku liphonononga izizathu zokusetyenziswa kwe-V₂O₅ njenge-catalyst, iindlela zayo zokwenza, ukusetyenziswa kwayo kumashishini ahlukeneyo, kunye nekamva le-catalysis ye-vanadium.

I-Silicon yesinyithi i-553 yi-alloy ye-silicon ecocekileyo esetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiindawo ezininzi zemizi-mveliso ngenxa yeempawu zayo ezizodwa kunye neekhemikhali. Icandelo layo eliphambili yi-98.5% ye-silicon, enexabiso elincinci lentsimbi kunye ne-aluminium, evumela ukuba i-silicon metal 553 igcine amandla agqwesileyo kunye nokumelana nokugqwala kwiindawo eziphezulu zokushisa. Eli nqaku liza kuphonononga ngokubanzi ukusetyenziswa okuphambili kwe-silicon metal 553, kubandakanywa i-aluminium alloys, i-semiconductors, i-photovoltaic industries, kunye namashishini ekhemikhali.

I-silicon ye-powder yensimbi yindlela ecocekileyo, ecocekileyo ye-silicon eveliswa ngokunciphisa i-silica kwii-arc zombane zombane. Ine-metallic luster kwaye ifumaneka ngobukhulu obuhlukeneyo, okwenza ukuba ilungele uluhlu lwezicelo. I-Silicon yinto yesibini eyona nto ininzi emhlabeni kwaye isebenza njengemathiriyeli ekrwada ebalulekileyo kumacandelo amaninzi, ngakumbi kwitekhnoloji ye-semiconductor, amandla elanga, kunye nesinyithi.

I-silicon ye-powder yensimbi yinto eguquguqukayo enoluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo kumashishini ahlukeneyo. Iipropathi ezizodwa ze-silicon powder zentsimbi ziyenza ibe yimathiriyeli ekrwada exabisekileyo kwiimveliso ezininzi kunye neenkqubo. Kweli nqaku, siza kuphonononga iipropathi eziphambili ze-silicon powder kwaye sijonge kwiinkqubo zayo ezahlukeneyo.

I-Ferrosilicon yi-alloy ebalulekileyo esetyenziswa kwimveliso yentsimbi kunye nezinye iintsimbi. Yenziwe ngentsimbi kunye ne-silicon, kunye nezixa ezahlukeneyo zezinye izinto ezifana ne-manganese kunye nekhabhoni. Inkqubo yokwenziwa kwe-ferrosilicon ibandakanya ukunciphisa i-quartz (i-silicon dioxide) kunye ne-coke (carbon) phambi kwentsimbi. Le nkqubo ifuna amaqondo obushushu aphezulu kwaye inamandla kakhulu, isenza amaxabiso ezinto ezikrwada abe ngumba obalulekileyo ekumiseleni ixabiso elipheleleyo lokwenziwa kweferrosilicon.

I-Ferrosilicon isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwishishini lensimbi, kwishishini le-Foundry kunye neminye imveliso yemveliso. Badla ngaphezu kwe-90% ye-ferrosilicon. Phakathi kwamabanga ahlukeneyo e-ferrosilicon, i-75% ye-ferrosilicon yeyona isetyenziswa kakhulu. Kwishishini lensimbi, malunga ne-3-5kg i-75% ye-ferrosilicon idliwe kwitoni nganye yensimbi eveliswayo.
