“…Therefore, silica in tripoli is mainly in an amorphous state, a characteristic feature of which is an increased reactivity in comparison with the crystal form [4]. Using this property of amorphous silica, in contrast to the known methods of its application [ [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]], it was proposed to use tripol as a silicon-containing raw material to produce a siliceous ferroalloy [11] for the smelting of which quartzite is used [ [12], [13], [14], [15]]. The article presents the results of studies to determine the optimal parameters for the electrothermal production of silicon ferroalloy from tripoli.…”
