Transformation of βSiC from Charcoal, Coal, and Petroleum Coke .
WEBSiC is one of the main intermediate compounds formed during the industrial production of silicon (Si). In the Si process, SiC is produced when carbon added to the raw materials reacts with the silicon monoxide gas (SiO(g)) formed in the furnace. Carbon materials used are either biomassbased (charcoal and wood chips) or based on fossil sources (coal, .
