• Element distribution in the silicomanganese production process 

      Ma, Yan; Moosavi-Khoonsari, Elmira; Kero, Ida; Tranell, Gabriella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      A pilot scale, silicomanganese alloy production campaign was performed in a 440 kVA, single phase electric furnace in order to establish an overview of the minor- and trace element contents in process input raw materials ...
    • Oxidation of Liquid Silicon in Air Atmospheres Containing Water Vapor 

      Ma, Yan; Jiang, Bo; Moosavi-Khoonsari, Elmira; Andersson, Stefan; Opila, Elizabeth J.; Tranell, Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The oxidation of silicon (Si) has been extensively investigated over the past 50 years. Yet, an understanding of the mechanism and rate of liquid Si oxidation in atmospheres containing water vapor, is lacking. The effect ...
