In this scientific research, research was carried out on the extraction of crystalline silicon by enriching and returning the sand of the "Jerdanak" quartz mine in Sherabad district of Surkhandarya region. Quartz sand without enrichment was analyzed by X-ray phase method, and the amount of silicon (IV) oxide (SiO2) and additional substances was determined. This work presents the results of experiments on technical silicon extraction processes by enriching sand and then reducing it with aluminum and magnesium. The obtained samples were reanalyzed.

Analysis of results
As can be seen from the graphs above, the intensity was relatively high when the X-rays were incident at an angle of 25°-30°. It was found that the intensity at these incidence angles was 22163 in natural quartz sand, 29877 when refracted with magnesium, and 21331 when refracted with aluminum. The separation yield of technical Si was found to be 58% when reduced with magnesium and 43% when reduced with aluminum.
Si reacts with Mg at 1300℃ due to the formation of magnesium silicide, and in the reaction with Al, the yield was lower due to the lower temperature.
