Abstract:
A method includes etching metallic impurities from an aluminosilicate mineral in a liquid acid etchant and separating solids including silica from the liquid acid etchant. The method further includes reducing the silica in the separated solids to silicon using a solid reducing agent resulting in a silicon-residual silica composite, removing aluminum chloride from the silicon-residual silica composite, dissolving oxides of the solid reducing agent in an acid solution, and separating silicon-residual silica solids remaining in the acid solution from the acid solution. The separated silicon-residual silica solids are dried to produce a clay mineral-derived silicon product.
