What is Silicon Liquid LA15?
Silicon Liquid LA15 is a liquid silicon product (silicon dioxide SiO2).
What is the difference between silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicic acid (Si(OH)4)?
Two hydrogen atoms make the difference between SiO2 and Si(OH)4, also known as silicon dioxide and silicic acid (orthosilicic acid). Silicon dioxide also exists in a coherent form composed of particles. With 2 H-atoms added, you get a solution. This can be forced, for example, by raising the pH value to 14 (or acidifying in reverse). Unfortunately, most of it reverts to silicon dioxide when diluted with water.Silicon: what is silicon?
Silicon is the second most common element after oxygen on Earth. About 28% to 40% of the Earth's crust consists of silicon. The Earth's surface therefore contains a lot of silicon. Plants feed on minerals including silicon. Here, we mention cereal crops that contain a lot of silicon: wheat, barley, oats, potato, and millet. Silicon naturally occurs in rice, hops (beer!), red beet, and red cabbage.Silicon; what does silicon do in nature?
Silicon is an important mineral. Research has shown that certain crops perform much better on a silicon-rich soil than on a silicon-poor environment. Where plants absorb a lot of silicon, this results in healthier, larger, and stronger crops, leading to a better harvest.Disclaimer: stated values are average guidelines and may vary per manufacturer, origin, and batch.
