Method, apparatus, and system for producing silicon-containing product by utilizing silicon mud byproduct of cutting silicon material with diamond wire

An apparatus for manufacturing silicon oxide (SiOx), the apparatus comprising:

• a reactor system comprising a vessel having a top, a bottom, a wall extending between the top and the bottom, an inlet, and an outlet, the inlet configured to receive a precursor for making SiOx granules, the reactor system being configured to bring the precursor into reaction by heating to generate an SiOx vapor;
• a collection system comprising a particle circulation unit, the collection system being configured to maintain a temperature lower than an internal temperature of the reactor system;
• wherein the particle circulation unit is configured to circulate SiOx seeds between a high temperature zone in contact with the SiOx vapor and a lower temperature zone where the SiOx granules are cooled after deposition of the SiOx vapor on the SiOx seeds;
• wherein the collection system collects the SiOx granules transferred from the lower temperature zone after separation via screening equipment.
