I-silicon briquette yenziwe nge-silicon slag, umkhiqizo ovela ekukhiqizweni kwensimbi ye-silicon, eyaziwa nangokuthi igama le-silicon slag, i-silicon metal slag. Okuqukethwe kwe-Si kuncane kune-Silicon Metal noma i-Ferrosilicon. I-silicon ku-silicon slag iphendula nomoya-mpilo esithandweni ukuze ikhiqize i-SiO2 ngesikhathi esifanayo, ikhiphe ukushisa okuningi, okungathuthukisa ngempumelelo izinga lokushisa lesithando somlilo, ikhulise uketshezi lwensimbi encibilikisiwe, ikhulise ilebula, futhi ibuyekeze ukuqina nokuqina. ikhono lokusika lokulingisa okuphindaphindayo. Umumo webriquette wenze kwaba lula ukuncibilika kanye nothuli oluncane uma usebenzisa. I-silicon slag ingasetshenziselwa insimbi yensimbi encibilikisa ingulube, ukubunjwa okuvamile, njll. Ngenani eliphansi, ibe indawo enhle yensimbi ye-silicon kanye ne-ferrosilicon njenge-deoxidizer ekukhiqizeni insimbi. Izimboni ezengeziwe zamukela lo mkhiqizo emhlabeni jikelele.
I-Zhenan Metallurgy, abahlinzeki be-silicon briquette, bakha i-silicon briquette ene-silicon slag ethatha ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe kanye nemishini yesimanje yokuhlola izinkulungwane zezimboni zensimbi ezihlinzeka ngemikhiqizo ye-silicon briquette yekhwalithi ephezulu.
