SisAl Slag Valorisation
GREEN HPA AND CO2 LOOP
The aim of the SisAl process is to resolve problem of non-sustainable raw materials, by replacing carbon with secondary aluminium sources (scrap, dross) as reductant for Si production from quartz (SiO2), and in parallel making an intermediate slag which is a perfect precursor for HPA processing.

ABOUT THE SISAL RESEARCH PROJECT
Today Si and HPA are made non-sustainably; for each tonne of Si you make a lot more CO2, plus harmful pollutants. This problem is resolved by SisAl, by replacing carbon with secondary Al for Si production, and in parallel making a slag being a perfect precursor for HPA. If successful in up-scaling, NTNU through a spin-off (licences), SiQAl & Mytilineos (HPA), and CALEF (CO2 looping) will commercialise the sustainable technologies and products.
