Most of the silicon carbide used in industry is manufactured through the Acheson Process. The process was invented by Edward Goodrich Acheson, by accident, whilst he was trying to find a way to make diamonds.
It deals with the basic Acheson furnacing process, raw material requirements, the existing state of the industry and the market potential for the product. It also reviews, briefly, the potential for …
In this article, a hot model study of the Acheson process has been presented with respect to the formation of silicon carbide at various radial and angular locations. The products and unreacted materials have been analyzed and characterized using various techniques.

the Acheson process, invented in 1893. The Acheson process reacts petroleum coke and high-purity crystalline silica (quartz SiO 2) in an open-atmosphere 30-kA electrical resistance furnace. This manufacturing process produces toxic gases (predominantly SOx, NOx, and CO) and releases heavy metal particles that present environmental and health risks.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is not uncommonly referred to as 'carborundum'. This vernacular term commemorates a word coined by Edward G. Acheson in 1892 to describe crystals that he made in an experiment which had the real goal of making a dia mond-like crystal from carbon and alundum (Acheson, 1893).
Formation of silicon carbide in the Acheson process was studied using a mass transfer model which has been developed in this study. The century old Acheson process is …

An American inventor and entrepreneur, Acheson discovered silicon carbide, the abrasive compound used to make sandpaper and grinding wheels. Edward Goodrich Acheson (1856–1931) was raised in the coal fields of southwestern …
Formation of silicon carbide in the Acheson process was studied using a mass transfer model which has been developed in this study. The century old Acheson process is still used for the mass production of silicon carbide.
The Acheson process still remains the method of choice for the industrial production of silicon carbide. The furnace operates in an unsteady thermal regime thus making it difficult to determine the kinetics of the process.

Acheson process is an industrial process to synthesize graphite and silicon carbide (carborundum), named after its inventor the American chemist Edward Goodrich Acheson (1856-1931).
The Acheson process which is used for the production of silicon carbide, uses petroleum coke and quartz as major raw materials to produce SiC in bulk quantities. SiC is formed by carbothermal reduction process in the heat resistance furnace (Acheson furnace).
