A method of manufacturing a silica powder using a sol-gel technique, wherein a suspension consisting of synthetic silica soot, having a specific surface area of less than 80 m2/g, is made in water to form a concentration of 50% to 75% by weight of silica; the suspension is gelled; the resulting gel is dried without forming a crust and with microwaves and broken up into silica grains having an apparent density of 0.5 g/cm3 to 0.6 g/cm3; and screening of the dry gel is performed to provide grains having a desired size.
