By reacting this compound with water (H2O), the chlorine atoms (Cl) are replaced by hydroxyl (OH) groups.
This forms dimethyldichlorosilane (2Si2), a complex compound. Afterwards, this pure silicon is chemically reacted with methyl chloride (CH3Cl) over a copper containing substance, which acts as a catalyst (one which speeds up the reaction). This heating is done in a furnace and silica is converted to pure silicon. Silicon can be obtained from silica sand using the industrial method of heating it with coke, which is a form of coal. Silicon is majorly mined in China, followed, after a large gap, by Russia, United States, Norway, France, Brazil, South Africa, Spain, Bhutan, and Iceland. It also occurs in feldspar, mica and sandstone. The name silica is given to a group of minerals composed solely of silicon and oxygen, including silica sand, quartz, rock crystal, amethyst, agate, flint, jasper and opal. It can be found in silicon oxides (silica) or silicate materials. Nearly 30 percent of the weight of the earth's crust can be attributed to silicon. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust and the eighth most common element in the world. The base material of this elastomer is silicon. The Fitbit belt is made of a silicone elastomer which is a type of chemically manufactured rubber. Throughout the manufacture process of the belt it can be seen, that these materials are actually extremely safe and environmentally friendly. Most of all, the belt is completely derived from silicon. The Fitbit Charge 2 consists of a few different parts including the belt, OLED screen, belt buckle, and the electric system all of them are composed with one common material called Silicon. Their transport is by plane or by sea, both requiring either fossil fuels or crude oil as fuel. When it comes to manufacturing, Fitbit gets their watches assembled by the P. Their watches are also one of the most liked among the public.
All of these minerals are either locally mined or transported from other countries to the place of manufacture.įitbit, being one of the most popular athletic watch companies, has a variety of watches manufactured to measure different areas of health. It uses all kinds of metals such as iron ore, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Most of the material used is derived from naturally occurring minerals in the Earth. Though its weight and compact design don't show much material use, a lot of work goes into the making of a Fitbit. Weighing about 25.8 grams, the Fitbit Charge 2 has a slim design which makes it blend in with athletic clothing as well as every day wear. The Fitbit consists of various components which make up this useful product. They are modifying their materials used, in an attempt to make their products more user and environmentally friendly. However, after looking at the raw materials used at every stage of its life-cycle, we can see that the company is taking action against their defective products.
Observing the material use in a Fitbit, it is seen that this watch causes damage not only to the environment but also to customers by causing rashes on their wrists. But despite these benefits of the smart watch, it has various issues relating to the materials used in it. This watch helps track our activity, exercise, sleep, weight and overall health. Among these products are smart, fitness watches such as the Fitbit. In today's digital age, technological products can be seen in each and every part of our lives.
