WASHINGTON, D.C. (KLTV/KTRE) - Congressman Nathaniel Moran (TX-01), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, celebrated the passage of his legislation, H.R. 4039, No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act, which prohibits funds to the Department of State or the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to finance international projects in partnership with entities that import products mined, produced, or manufactured in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China, commonly known for the genocide and forced labor of the Uyghur people.

On June 21, 2023, H.R. 4039 was marked up in the House Foreign Affairs Committee and was reported favorably out of the committee. This week, the No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Actpassed the House of Representatives by a voice vote.

“The passage of No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act is an important step in showing the U.S. government’s commitment to confronting the abuses of the Chinese Communist Party. As a Chinese dissidents and human rights activist, I’ve experienced first-hand the extent that the Chinese government is willing to go to maintain power. After years of evidence and brave survivors speaking out, the world can no longer ignore the Uyghur genocide. It is imperative for our consciences to remove all U.S. funding from the Uyghur region. I am grateful for Representative Moran’s leadership on this resolution and the cosponsors who endorsed it,” said Dr. Rev. Bob Fu, Founder and President of ChinaAid.

“Uyghurs worldwide are thankful to Representative Moran and the U.S. Congress for passing a bill which ensures that our tax dollars do not fund ongoing atrocity crimes and modern-day slavery. This bill also sends a powerful message globally that the United States will continue to exercise all options to ensure that we end complicity in forced labor,” said Omer Kanat, Executive Director of the Uyghur Human Rights Project.

Background:

The Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide against the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China, repressing ethnic minorities for practicing their faith, detaining people in “reeducation centers” and ultimately using them for forced labor in the XUAR. This region of China is essential to their global supply chain, where many basic goods such as yarn, textiles, bricks, cotton, polysilicon, are produced using forced labor.

While the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act prohibited goods made wholly or partly in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region from entering U.S. supply chains, we must ensure that the United States is not developing international contracts for strategic projects with partners overseas that source goods or raw materials from the Xinjiang region.

H.R. 4039 will prohibit funds to the Department of State or the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to finance global projects in partnership with companies or organizations that import products mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or partly from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China.

WACKER successfully develops new specialty silanes for high-performance chips

Wacker has successfully developed a new precursor for the production of highly integrated memory chips and microprocessors. The corresponding computer chips can be used in fields that require highly complex computing tasks, such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The precursor is a new type of silane that can be used for chemical vapor deposition in semiconductor production. It can react with the wafer surface to form an extremely thin insulation layer with low dielectric constant to shield the guide rail and other components installed in a dense space from electromagnetic interference, ensuring the reliable operation of the highly integrated chip without interruption. The successful development of the new silane once again demonstrates the chemical group's emphasis on providing highly value-added solutions for the special needs of its customers.

Today's semiconductor chips are tiny but contain billions of transistors. As components continue to get smaller, the number of transistors and the performance of semiconductors continue to increase, and so do the technical challenges. One problem is the interaction between conductors and transistors. With more circuits and higher switching frequencies, the performance of the latest generation of chips is limited by electromagnetic fields.

New products from WACKER now offer a remedy. This special silane, composed of silicon, carbon and chlorine, is an important film forming raw material for chip production. It can react with the surface of the heated ultra-pure silicon wafer to form an insulating layer with low dielectric constant, which greatly reduces the electromagnetic interference of the high frequency moving charges in the guide rail.

Thomas Koini, President of WACKER's silicones Business unit, said: "Our chemists have carried out intensive research and succeeded in developing this silane, which can significantly improve the efficiency of chips, for the production of highly integrated computer chips with highly complex structures. Such chips are increasingly needed for computationally intensive applications such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and cloud computing."

Wacker has been supplying raw materials and additives to the semiconductor industry for many years. The chemical group is the largest polysilicon producer in Europe and is recognized globally as a leader in polysilicon technology and quality for semiconductor applications. Polysilicon is the basic raw material for ultra-pure silicon wafers, which can be further processed into computer chips. Currently, one out of every two chips in the world is made from WACKER polysilicon.

Less well known is that WACKER also supplies important process chemicals to the semiconductor industry. For example, the polishing paste produced by WACKER from fumed silica can be used as a mechanical abrasive to polish and flatten wafers. The chemical group is also one of the few hydrogen chloride producers that can provide the required purity and quality. The basic chemical hydrogen chloride is an important intermediate product and additive in WACKER's integrated production system for etching wafers and cleaning coating equipment. Just last year, WACKER expanded the capacity of process chemicals at its Burghausen site, investing tens of millions of euros.

For many years, chemicals used in thin film deposition, known as precursors, have not only been an integral part of WACKER's product portfolio, but have also been adopted by leading chip manufacturers. By developing these new specialty silanes, WACKER once again demonstrates the strategic importance of highly specialized semiconductor chemicals to its portfolio.

"We are now the quality leader in our field and one of the most sought-after suppliers of specialty silanes in the world," says Laurent Morineaux, head of the Functional Silicones business unit of WACKER's Silicone Business unit. Due to the high development costs and strict quality requirements of such specialty chemicals, more and more competitors have withdrawn from the market. Mr Morineaux pointed out: "WACKER did not do this. This market remains very attractive to us, so we will continue to focus on such products in the future and even expand our business in this area."

Silicon Tetrachloride Prices | Pricing | Trend | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

 Silicon Tetrachloride Prices is a crucial chemical compound used extensively in various industries, including electronics, telecommunications, and solar panel manufacturing. As a vital intermediate for the production of high-purity silicon, optical fibers, and as a byproduct in the production of polycrystalline silicon, the price trends of silicon tetrachloride have garnered significant attention. Understanding these price trends and the factors that influence them is crucial for industries that rely on this compound.

Over recent years, the global market for silicon tetrachloride has experienced fluctuations in pricing, driven by a combination of supply-demand dynamics, raw material costs, technological advancements, and geopolitical factors. One of the key drivers of silicon tetrachloride prices is the demand for photovoltaic (PV) cells, which are widely used in solar energy systems. As countries across the globe shift towards renewable energy sources, the demand for solar panels has surged, leading to a corresponding increase in the consumption of silicon tetrachloride. The compound is integral to the production of polysilicon, which is a core component of PV cells. Consequently, as the solar industry continues to grow, the market for silicon tetrachloride is expected to remain robust, potentially driving prices upward.

Get Real Time Prices for Silicon Tetrachloride: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/silicon-tetrachloride-1583The supply side of silicon tetrachloride is also influenced by various factors. The production of silicon tetrachloride is closely linked to the availability of raw materials such as metallurgical-grade silicon, which is used in its synthesis. Fluctuations in the supply of these raw materials, driven by mining activities, regulatory changes, or environmental concerns, can have a direct impact on the cost of production. For instance, environmental regulations aimed at curbing emissions and reducing pollution in major producing countries such as China can limit the availability of raw materials or increase the costs of production, ultimately affecting silicon tetrachloride prices. Additionally, disruptions in the supply chain, such as those caused by natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, or global trade disputes, can lead to shortages or price hikes.

Another critical factor influencing the price of silicon tetrachloride is the technological advancements in production methods. Innovations aimed at improving the efficiency of production and reducing waste can help stabilize prices or even drive them down. For instance, the development of more energy-efficient methods for producing polysilicon can reduce the overall cost of manufacturing silicon tetrachloride. However, the adoption of such technologies may require substantial upfront investments, which could temporarily elevate costs before long-term benefits are realized. Additionally, improvements in recycling technologies could mitigate the need for raw material extraction, thus reducing pressure on supply and contributing to more stable pricing.

The global market for silicon tetrachloride is also shaped by regional dynamics. Asia-Pacific, particularly China, dominates the production and consumption of silicon tetrachloride, thanks to the region’s strong manufacturing base and growing demand for solar energy and electronics. As the largest producer of polysilicon and a key player in the global electronics industry, China plays a pivotal role in determining the supply and pricing of silicon tetrachloride. However, the country’s increasing focus on environmental sustainability and efforts to reduce carbon emissions have led to stricter regulations on chemical production, including that of silicon tetrachloride. These regulations, while beneficial for the environment, can lead to increased production costs, which may be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. In contrast, North America and Europe have smaller but growing markets, particularly due to the expanding solar energy sector. As governments in these regions promote the use of clean energy, the demand for silicon tetrachloride is likely to increase, potentially driving prices higher.

The ongoing trade tensions between major global economies, particularly between the United States and China, have also had an impact on silicon tetrachloride prices. Trade tariffs and restrictions on the import and export of raw materials and finished goods can lead to supply chain disruptions, price volatility, and uncertainty in the market. For instance, if tariffs are imposed on the import of polysilicon or other critical raw materials, manufacturers may face higher costs, which could be reflected in the price of silicon tetrachloride. Moreover, shifts in global trade policies can affect the competitiveness of manufacturers in different regions, influencing the overall supply-demand balance and pricing trends.

In addition to these external factors, the price of silicon tetrachloride is influenced by market speculation and investor sentiment. The chemical industry is highly sensitive to changes in market sentiment, and any news regarding technological breakthroughs, regulatory changes, or shifts in demand can trigger speculation, leading to short-term price fluctuations. For instance, announcements of new solar energy projects or government incentives for renewable energy can fuel optimism about future demand, driving prices higher in anticipation of increased consumption. Conversely, any signs of slowing demand or overcapacity in the market can lead to price declines as investors adjust their expectations.

Furthermore, the long-term outlook for silicon tetrachloride prices is closely tied to the global transition towards renewable energy and technological innovation. As governments and industries strive to reduce their carbon footprint and adopt cleaner technologies, the demand for silicon tetrachloride is expected to remain strong. The growth of the solar energy sector, in particular, will continue to be a key driver of demand. However, the pace of technological advancements in the production of polysilicon and silicon-based materials will also play a critical role in shaping future price trends. Companies that can innovate and reduce production costs will be better positioned to offer competitive pricing, potentially leading to more stable or even declining prices over the long term.

In conclusion, silicon tetrachloride prices are influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including supply-demand dynamics, technological advancements, regulatory changes, and geopolitical events. As industries such as solar energy and electronics continue to expand, the demand for silicon tetrachloride is expected to grow, potentially driving prices higher. However, innovations in production methods and recycling technologies, along with regional market dynamics, will also shape the future pricing landscape for this critical chemical compound.

Various types of ceramic crucibles: quartz, alumina, boron nitride, zirconia

As an important component of chemical instruments, crucibles are containers for melting and refining metal liquids, as well as solid-liquid heating and reaction. They are the basis for ensuring the smooth progress of chemical reactions. Historically, crucibles were originally made of clay, and one of the earliest uses of platinum was also for preparing crucibles. However, with the development of preparation technology, crucibles can now be made of any material that can melt or change its contents.

There are many types, models, and specifications of crucibles, which can be selected at will, with strong applicability, and can ensure the purity of the smelted material. Among them, ceramic crucibles are an important component of crucibles, and ceramic crucibles can be divided into quartz crucibles, corundum crucibles, boron nitride crucibles, zirconia crucibles, etc. according to the raw materials, and are used in different occasions according to their respective properties.

1. Quartz Ceramic Crucible

Quartz ceramic crucible, full name high-purity fused quartz ceramic crucible (silicon dioxide content ≥ 99.9%), is a ceramic crucible made of high-purity fused quartz as raw material. It has the characteristics of fine structure, low thermal conductivity, small thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal shock stability, good electrical properties, good chemical corrosion resistance, etc. Therefore, quartz ceramic crucible is widely used in the glass deep processing industry, metallurgical industry, electronics industry, chemical industry, aerospace, and other fields. Generally speaking, its shapes are mainly square and cylindrical.

With the attention and development of environmentally friendly energy, solar energy as a green energy has been widely valued by countries around the world. The use of polysilicon for solar energy conversion has increased dramatically, which has promoted the rapid development of polysilicon production. Therefore, the use of large-sized thin-walled square fused quartz ceramic crucibles has also increased dramatically, and the international market prospects are very optimistic about it.

2. Alumina crucible

Corundum crucible, scientific name alumina crucible, people usually call crucibles with an alumina content of more than 95% corundum crucibles. Corundum crucibles are hard and resistant to melting, high-temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, rapid cooling, and extreme heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for using anhydrous Na2CO3 and other weak alkaline substances as a flux to melt samples, but not suitable for using Na2O2, NaOH and other strong alkaline substances and acidic substances as a flux to melt samples.

99.70% corundum crucibles have good high-temperature insulation and mechanical strength in an oxidizing and reducing atmosphere of 1650℃-1700℃, and the short-term use temperature can reach up to 1800℃. According to the application conditions, alumina crucibles are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, such as arc crucibles, round bottom crucibles, straight crucibles, square crucibles, etc.

3. Boron nitride crucible

The common types of boron nitride are cubic boron nitride (C-BN) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Among them, boron nitride crucibles are usually made of h-BN. h-BN ceramics have good heat resistance, thermal stability, thermal conductivity, and high-temperature dielectric strength. They are ideal heat dissipation materials and high-temperature insulation materials.

Due to the excellent chemical stability of h-BN, it can resist the erosion of most molten metals. Because of the above-mentioned high-temperature insulation properties, high thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion, it is most suitable as a material used in strict environmental conditions such as semiconductor processes. h-BN crucibles are often used for melting metals and semiconductors. Its operating temperature under vacuum is as high as 1800 degrees, and its operating temperature under atmosphere protection can reach up to 2100℃. It is generally protected by nitrogen or argon (atmosphere protection is to prevent the crucible from oxidation).

4. Zirconia crucible

The melting point of zirconia is higher than that of zirconium, reaching 2700℃. It is one of the materials with the best refractory performance in nature. Even if it is heated to 1900℃, it will not react with molten aluminum, iron, nickel, platinum, and other metals, silicates, and acidic slags. Therefore, Zirconia crucibles can successfully melt platinum, palladium, ruthenium, cesium, and other platinum group precious metals and their alloys.

It is worth noting that although zirconia is more expensive than alumina, it is a special oxide refractory material that cannot be replaced by other oxide materials when used in high-temperature furnaces above 2000℃.

The bright future of solar energy

24.05.24 - Solar energy, which is both abundant and free, is poised to become the world’s leading power source by 2050. That’s thanks largely to technological advances and the unbridled manufacturing of solar cells, which bodes well for a successful energy transition. The sun’s rays are the source of all the Earth’s renewable energy. This manna from heaven supplies the equivalent of one barrel (159 liters) of oil per square meter per year – at least in sunny regions, like Switzerland’s canton of Valais – at no cost. What’s more, our capacity for turning solar energy into electrical power is on the rise. That’s partly because engineers are constantly making improvements to boost the yields of photovoltaic (PV) cells, and partly (or even mostly) because both supply and demand for these units are booming. Nearly 375 GW of solar-panel capacity was installed globally in 2023. That’s four times more than in 2019 and 20 times more than in 2010. It’s a lot, but still not enough. Christophe Ballif, the head of EPFL’s Laboratory of Photovoltaics and Thin-Film Electronics (PV Lab) in Neuchâtel, puts these figures in perspective: “By 2050, we’ll need to replace 80% of the fossil fuels we currently use with clean energy. It’s a huge challenge. If we continue at the same pace as in 2023, when 375 GW of solar capacity and 110 GW of wind capacity were installed, then it’ll take around 120 years to get there. But our goal is to accomplish the energy transition in 30 years – a more reasonable time frame in light of the climate crisis. That means we’ll need to increase annual solar capacity installation by a factor of nearly four, to 1,500 GW.” Yet he thinks this is possible: “China has invested between $60 billion and $80 billion over the past three years in new manufacturing capabilities for everything from polysilicon to complete solar units. By next year at the latest, it should have the required production capacity. But this Herculean effort on the supply side is actually coming a little too soon. We’re clearly in a situation of overcapacity.” A combination of solar and wind Solar power will make up a sharply growing share of the world’s energy mix, which is good news. In Switzerland, the government has introduced targets for transitioning to solar and other kinds of renewable energy by 2050. The goal is to have renewables supply 45 TWh, or more than half of the country’s total power demand based on current levels. Experts agree that the most effective way to reach this target is to combine solar with other forms of clean energy: hydropower, of course, but ideally also a sizable amount of wind power. To be employed with power grids, both solar and wind power need to be coupled with one or more storage systems such as batteries, dams and synthesis gas. For batteries in particular (including EV batteries), China is once again the world’s manufacturing powerhouse. Here too, the country has made massive investments in new facilities. “China is flooding the market and overproducing to the point where prices are collapsing, for both batteries and solar units,” says Ballif. “That’s good for consumers and the energy transition in general, but it will create a form of dependency that we don’t want. Governments in other regions, including in Europe, need to build and expand their manufacturing capacity in order to make the market more resilient.” Illustration Éric Buche Neuchâtel: A hub of yield-boosting technology That said, it’s not easy to invest in capacity when you’re up against that kind of competition. But it is possible to find ways of doing things better, or differently. Engineers at Ballif’s lab and at the Centre Suisse d’Électronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) in Neuchâtel, where Ballif also heads a research group, have developed methods for considerably increasing the yields of PV cells. Some of their technology is being implemented in China’s new factories. For instance, the engineers designed “tandem” cells consisting… http://actu.epfl.ch/news/the-bright-future-of-solar-energy (Source of the original content)

This sunscreen contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) and is fragrance-free.

The sunblock has a very light cream texture and feels a little wet on the skin.

It blends out really easily and really doesn't feel like a sunscreen.

It absorbs quickly and leaves skin really hydrated and not overly tacky.

There's no flashback or noticeable white cast at all under flash.

Recommended use is to apply the sunscreen and smooth it over the skin and blend and tap into the skin for better absorption. This brand is cruelty-free and uses clean ingredients, it's also fragrance-free. After using, I do personally have somewhat sensitive skin and some sunscreens really irritate my eyes, I did notice a bit of tingling due to the menthyl lactate in the ingredients but otherwise no issues around my eye area. I also have dry skin and I think this works great without any added moisturizer underneath, but it also layers well and does a good job underneath makeup, no pilling at all. There's not really any scent of ingredients that I've noticed too much and of course, it's free of artificial fragrance. The thing that really sticks out to me in Korean and Japanese sunscreens is that you can put these on your lips and not have that kind of unpleasant sunscreen taste. The ingredients are great, minus a couple of ingredients. The cooling tingle is noticeable but not terrible or overly irritating for me, but if you can't handle anything like that, then best to avoid this one. I'd recommend this to anyone with dry and dehydrated skin, people who have sensitive skin, and people who need a lightweight formula.

What I like: I'd like to make it clear, this sunscreen is probably my favorite that I've ever tried and I feel like I don't hear people talking about it. It's also very affordable and I do actually wish they'd make a version with 100 ml. I enjoy the texture and it works so well under makeup. What I don't like: the slightly cooling tingle could irritate very sensitive skin.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Hydrating

Gentle

Layers well

No pilling

Safe around the eyes

Lovely formula

Great texture

Affordable

Smooths over the skin so nicely

Fragrance-free

Cons:

Has a couple irritants

Would I buy this again?

Yes, for sure

Rating: 10/10

Optical grade materials are materials with low strain and no impurities, they are grown from the best raw materials at a relatively slow growth rate, and are often used in optical applications where the highest quality is required. Optical grade wafers are widely used in optical devices and require excellent optical performance.

SAW grade materials are primarily used in non-optical applications, and their growth raw materials rank second only to optical grade growth raw materials. The growth rate of this material is faster than that of optical grade material, which benefits mass production and cost-effectiveness.

In general, these grades of wafers vary in material quality and use. Optical grade wafers are considered to be of the highest quality, while SAW grade wafers are relatively lower in price. The selection of the appropriate wafer grade is crucial, depending on the specific application and material quality requirements.
