Black Silicon carbide Grit is produced by a process involving the electrochemical reaction of silica(SiO2)-in the form of quartz mixed with Carbon(C) in the form of raw petroleum coke. The stoichiometric mixture is reacted in an electrical resistance furnace at a temperature up to 2500 centigrade to yield high-quality crystals. The process is large furnace technology with a graphite electrode in the furnace center. The large crystals are then segregated, crushed, cleaned of magnetic impurities in high-intensity magnetic separators, and classified into narrow size fractions to suit the end-use. Dedicated lines produce products for different applications.
