Recent changes in the assessment of the suitability of minerals have placed Silicon Dioxide in one of the first places in the world economy. Silica has found its place on the list of critical materials. Looking at its current importance, we can say that it has become a strategic mineral.
Until recently, silicon (Si) did not even seem to be a material of particular importance to us - today it is indispensable in our everyday lives - tomorrow we will not be able to exist without silicon.
Has the world gone crazy? Definitely not. Without silicon there will be no internet, mobile phones, satellites, computers, window panes, milking machines, modern cars... actually, we will go back 7,000 years...
So what is Si? Silicon is a chemical element; it has symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic luster, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium are below it.
Maybe something more specific? Naturally. Silicon is one of the most useful elements to mankind.
It is used to make alloys including aluminum-silicon and ferro-silicon (iron-silicon). These are used to make dynamo and transformer plates, engine blocks, cylinder heads and machine tools and to deoxidise steel and... micro chips. Silicon is also used to make silicones.
Is this argument alone enough to decide on the profitability of initiating the extraction of silica with a high silicon content (over 70%)?
Knowing what will happen without Silicon... I think everyone can answer this question for themselves.
Silicon has already become the present... and the future of humanity...
