In-situ resource utilization: ferrosilicon and SiC production from BP-1 lunar regolith simulant via carbothermal reduction
Review state
needs review
The process was first studied from a thermodynamic point of view, while the final ferrosilicon product was examined metallographically.
The results were supported by thermodynamics forecasting of more oxides/minerals reducing carbothermally, and volatile formation becoming more favorable with increasing temperature.
