Horizon 2020 project: SisAl Pilot project in a nutshell!

Innovative pilot for Silicon production with low environmental impact using secondary Aluminium and silicon raw materials The project aims to demonstrate a patented novel industrial process to produce silicon (Si, a critical raw material), enabling a shift from today’s carbothermic Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF) process to a far more environmentally and economically sustainable alternative: an aluminothermic reduction of quartz in slag that utilizes secondary raw materials such as aluminium (Al) EoL scrap and dross, as replacements for carbon reductants used today. SisAl Pilot represents a path-breaking approach, and a strong contribution to “circularity” through industrial symbiosis where the Al industry will act as both a raw material supplier and end user to the Si industry. Across sectors, SisAl Pilot will give substantial reductions in material yield losses, enhanced valorisation of waste- and by-product streams (SiO2 fines, Si skulls, dross, scrap etc), at a 3 X lower energy consumption and radically lower emissions of CO2 and harmful pollutants, at a considerably lower cost. In the framework of SISAL PILOT project, INNEN is involved in WP6, dedicated dissemination and communication activities, and at the end of this first year the main important and biggest output can be listed as follows: dissemination kit (available to the link: https://www.sisal-pilot.eu/documents_...) website online at the URL: https://www.sisal-pilot.eu/.
