Quartz crucible is a kind of container made of high purity quartz sand fired by a special process. It is characterized by high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and strong chemical stability, so it has a wide range of applications in many fields. The following is an overview of the main uses of quartz crucible:

Main uses of quartz crucible

1. Semiconductor industry:

  - Used for the growth of single crystal silicon, which is the basic material for manufacturing semiconductor chips.

  - It is used as a container when pulling monocrystalline silicon rods in monocrystalline furnaces.

2. Solar photovoltaic industry:

  - Used in the production of polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon wafers, which are an important part of solar panels.

3. Laboratory use:

  - Used for high temperature chemical reactions, especially in experiments requiring a highly pure environment.

  - As a container for melting metals or alloys, it is suitable for melting and purification of precious metals such as gold and silver.

4. Material science research:

  - For high-temperature experiments in the field of materials science, such as melting, sintering and other processes.

  - It is used for crystal growth, preparation of powder metallurgy materials and so on.

5. Industrial production:

  - In metallurgy, ceramics, glass and other industries as a container for melting and refining.

  - Used for melting aluminum, nickel, steel and other metals.

6. Chemical analysis:

  - Used in chemical analysis for thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis and so on.

  - It can be used as a container to hold high temperature reaction system, such as solid gas reaction, thermal decomposition reaction, etc.

7. Environmental monitoring and pharmaceutical industry:

  - Used for sample analysis in environmental monitoring, such as the concentration and analysis of metal ions in water samples.

  - In the pharmaceutical industry for pharmaceutical process equipment and laboratory apparatus, can withstand high temperature sterilization process, and ensure the sterility of drugs.

8. Precision analysis:

  - Used in atomic absorption analysis, flame photometric analysis and other precision analysis methods.

Characteristics of quartz crucible

- High temperature stability: quartz crucible can withstand very high temperature (up to 2600°C) and is not easy to be deformed or melted under high temperature.

- Chemical Stability: Resistant to most chemicals.

- Light transmission: Some quartz crucibles have good light transmission, which is especially important for certain applications requiring light.

Maintenance and care of quartz crucible

- Avoid contact with sharp objects to avoid scratches or breakage.

- After the experiment or production, the crucible should be cleaned of residues and dirt in a timely manner.

- Store in dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture or pollution.

Quartz crucible plays an important role in scientific research and industry because of its unique physical and chemical properties.
