What is silicon slag
Silicon slag is a by-product produced in a specific industrial process and has a wide range of application values. According to the different silicon content, it can be divided into ferrosilicon slag and metallic silicon slag. The utilization of silicon slag can reduce the waste of resources and environmental pollution, and meet the requirements of sustainable development.
What are the uses of silicon slag
Silicon slag has many uses in industry. It can be used as a deoxidizer in the steelmaking process to reduce the oxygen content in the melting and casting process.
Silicon slag is also a cheap raw material for many silicon industries, such as the production of silicone.
Silicon slag can also be used in steel slag back smelting pig iron, ordinary casting and other processes, because it can well improve the furnace temperature, increase the fluidity of hot metal, and optimize the toughness and cutting ability of castings.
The basic oxide in the silicon slag can react with sulfur dioxide to form sulfate, so it is also used for flue gas desulfurization.
Three Steps To Understand The Silicon Slag Procurement Process And Matters
The preliminary preparation of the purchase of silicon slag
Understand the needs
Specify the specific requirements of the type, quantity, quality and specifications of silicon slag purchased. Evaluate the use of silicon slag in the production process in order to select the appropriate type and quality of silicon slag.
Market research
Investigate the market situation of silicon slag, including price, supply, supplier information, etc. Understand the quality standards and industry specifications of silicon slag to ensure that the purchased silicon slag meets the production requirements.
Find silicon slag suppliers
Through industry exhibitions, network platforms, industry associations and other ways to find suitable silicon slag suppliers. Evaluate the supplier’s reputation, experience, production capacity, etc., select strong suppliers to cooperate with.
Negotiation and signing of silicon slag
Price negotiation
Negotiate price with suppliers according to market research results and own needs. Comprehensive consideration of the quality of silicon slag, price, delivery and other factors, to achieve a reasonable purchase price.
Sign a contract
After the negotiation reaches an agreement, sign a formal procurement contract with the supplier. The contract shall specify the type, quantity, quality, price, delivery time, payment method and other key terms of silicon slag.
Payment and delivery of silicon slag
Payment and delivery
Pay the supplier according to the contract. Different payment methods such as prepayment and cash on delivery can be selected.
Delivery acceptance
After receiving the silicon slag, the quantity, quality, specifications and other aspects of acceptance. If silicon slag is found not to meet the requirements of the contract, timely communicate with the supplier to negotiate a solution.
