Introduction
Micro silica ,also called silica fume or micro silica, is a byproduct of production silicon metal or ferrosilicon alloys. Silicon metal and alloys are produced in electric furnaces.The raw materials are quartz,coal and woodchips.The smoke that results from furnace operation is collected and sold as silica fume, silica fume consists primarily of amorphous(non-crystalline) silicon dioxide(SiO2),its average granule diameter is 0.15~0.20um,specific surface area is 15000~20000m2/kg,and it has extremely strong surface active.

HANDLING:
Bulk silica fume can be stored in ordinary cement silos and transported in bulk bag or cement tankers. It can be moved into cement storage silos and then handled with normal automated batching systems.
