- Keep in mind that the Gen 3 Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) produced this Silicon (Si) during a time when they were just testing the machine, not when they were trying to improve the Si purity.
- Third party testing of the samples was completed by Balazs NanoAnalysis
https://www.balazs.com/products-services/bulk-material-testing - There is an approximate ~2 week turnaround for 3rd party testing.
- The Gen 3 QRR successfully operates semi-continuously (for these tests), by end of month the Gen 3 QRR will operate 24/7 and then they will focus on purity.
- The QRR successfully produced the world's best MgSi.
From @Sabbath:
@Sabbath Most important part of the News Release; "During the test, the Gen3 QRR pilot plant was successfully operated under SEMI-CONTINUOUS batch production mode. The system operators powered up the reactor to the required operating state, after which feedstock was loaded into the system, and a complete production cycle was performed. The production cycle was repeated 3 more times, to properly validate the milestone attained." Long and Strong in PyroGenesis and
