METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SILICON BY CARBOTHERMAL REDUCTION OF SILICON OXIDE WITH CARBON IN A MELTING FURNACE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing silicon by carbothermally reducing silicon oxide with carbon in a melting furnace. In said method, at least one molded article comprising at least one carbon compound which contains hydroxy groups at a minimum molar ratio of 0.2 in relation to the carbon atoms is fed into the melting furnace.
