Synthetic silica glass and a manufacturing method thereof.

摘要

A method for manufacturing synthetic silica glass by reacting methyl silicate and aqueous ammonia, dispersing the silica particles produced in water, solidifying the silica by the addition of methyl silicate, and heating, dehydrating, de-solventing, decarburizing and sintering the solid silica to produce a glass product. The sintered glass may be pulverized to produce a powder. The method is easily carried out and avoids the high energy costs of the prior art. The glass product obtained exhibits excellent high temperature viscosity.
