[Ferro-Alloys.com] According to Silicon Industry of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association data, China total production volume was about 195 ten thousand tons, and Xinjiang province became the largest production province, and Xinjiang total production volume was 48 ten thousand tons, and accounted China total volume for 24.6%, meanwhile, the current in the new industrial area in the construction of the proposed project silicon production capacity over 1 million tons can be expected in the future will become an important region of Xinjiang in China and it may be become global industrial production base of silicon. Since the second half of 2013, Xinjiang region benefit from the advantages of its electricity and mineral resources, capacity expansion is particularly evident. By the end of 2015, Xinjiang industrial silicon production capacity totaled 1.05 million tons per year, compared with 2014, an increase of 40 million tons per year.
