Ld. Dyubova et Va. Lavrenko, PRODUCTION OF SUBSILICIC ACID (SILOXEN) AND ITS REACTION WITH SEAWATER, Journal of applied chemistry of the USSR, 65(12), 1992, pp. 2262-2266
During the application of an inexpensive silicon-calcium alloy, subsil
icic acid was synthesized, which corresponds to an enhanced oxygen con
tent. The iron distribution in the phases was studied during the cours
e of the synthesis and a method is suggested for additional purificati
on of siloxen from impurities, the total content of which is in the ra
nge 3-7 wt. %.
