The viscosity of molten slags is the most important physical property, which plays key roles in industrial operations. At a given temperature, this macroscopic property depends on the slag structure. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method to provide valuable information on the structural properties of melts and glasses, providing an applicable technique to relate the variations of macroscopic...

In recent years, there has been a great effort to reduce CO2 emission in the metal production processes including the silicon production process. To reduce CO2 emission in the Si production, metallothermic, rather than carbothermic reduction of quartz is a possible alternative.
In the current work, the mechanism of reduction of natural quartz by Mg was studied. The reduction reaction has...
