Experimental analysis of Algerian diatomaceous earth aimed at silicon extraction
Main Article Content
Abstract
Silicon, primarily derived from silica, plays a crucial role in creating glass, ceramics, and heat-resistant materials, making it indispensable across various industrial sectors. Moreover, it is fundamental in the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronic components. The main goal of our project is to study diatomite, particularly from Algerian deposits, such as western diatomite in order to extract silicon to achieve this, we will conduct experiments using electron microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). These analyses highlight the significance of chemical methods in silicon extraction. Our focus is primarily on improving our study by examining the impact of various parameters, notably the use of acid cleansings, on the final product. These parameters are chosen based on the complex chemical reactions governing the aggregation of silica particles in the solution
