Formlinge zur Herstellung von Ferrosilicium

Method of manufacturing ferrosilicon from iron, quartz and carbon shavings in a reduction furnace, characterized in that briquettes are made from quartz and carbon, alone or with at least a part of the iron shavings making use of a binder known per se, wherein the carbon is composed of a mixture of carbon of a binder power of 4 to 10, preferably 5 to 7, measured according to Campredon and Dunn, and carbon or non-binder coke in a weight ratio of 2: 1 to 1: 5, and these briquettes, if necessary together with the rest of the iron shavings, are taken as a load to the furnace.
