The article presents some existing methods of producing silicon carbide, forms and types of silicon carbide, various compositions and formulations, production technology. The authors proposed a new method of processing silicon production waste - microsilica by spark plasma sintering with a carbon-containing reducing agent (soot) which produces a silicon carbide compound. Studies have shown that sintered silicon carbide has improved strength properties. Thus, the possibility of application of production wastes to create new composite materials characterized by a certain complex of properties is confirmed.
