MG-Si or metallurgical-grade silicon (or silicon metal) is made from heating quartz (silicon dioxide) with a reactant that has access to carbon sources such as coal, wood, or charcoal in an electric arc furnace. The process extracts silicon dioxide, but the material produced is impure and inappropriate for high-tech applications.
