Silicon is used by the military as an ingredient in microsecond delays (fuses) for weaponry. I think the other main ingredient is red lead, if I remember correctly. Anyway, purity is not so critical in this application.samuel-a said:Does anyone here had experiance with selling bulk Silicon scrap?
I have been offered solar grade wafers and wondering what can i do with it.
I hate to be nitpicky, but silicon dioxide is SiO2. SIO2 would be a combination of sulfur, iodine and oxygen.arsenic123 said:Hey guys any idea how to extract or remove silicom from silicon dioxide?? I have silica sand (SIO2) and I want to remove silicon not 100 but atleast 97 or 98%. I am not sure if this question should be asked in this forum and I know very complicated chemistry is involved to remove it but just want to know if anyone has ever tried it or anyone got any idea to remove silicon.
Thank you

I'm wondering what your goal is in removing silicon from silicon dioxide. If you remove the silicon, you're left with oxygen. If we understand what you're trying to achieve, we may be able to provide some advice.
