By using an organosilicon compound oligomer as the liquid silicon compound, the mixed sol solution precursor is gelled without using an acid catalyst such as toluenesulfonic acid. In the gelation, ultrasonic irradiation is unnecessary. Since the reaction can be performed in the absence of a catalyst, there is an advantage that the process and cost associated with the acid catalyst can be reduced, and in addition, the precursor material of silicon carbide is generated without containing inevitable elements in the acid catalyst. By firing this precursor material, it is possible to produce high-purity silicon carbide that can be used for applications where the inclusion of impurity elements due to acid catalysts, such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts and single crystal raw materials, is not preferred Can do.

On the other hand, carbon or a carbon compound can be used as the carbon source. Among them, as the carbon, carbon powder such as carbon black can be used. In order to cause a uniform reaction in the subsequent pyrolysis step, the powder is preferably as fine as possible. The carbon compound is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound that generates carbon by heating, but in order to cause a uniform reaction, it is liquid, soluble in the solvent used, or uniformly dispersed in the solvent. It is necessary to make the powder fine enough. For example, a thermosetting resin such as a phenol resin is suitable. However, the carbon or carbon compound of the carbon source to be used needs to have a purity according to the application.

Gel based on the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of organosilicon compounds by adding water to liquid precursor materials prepared by mixing organosilicon compound oligomers and carbon sources or dissolved in organic solvents Will occur. Therefore, the reaction can be performed in the absence of a catalyst. Here, the mixing ratio of the organosilicon compound oligomer and the carbon source depends on the carbon source used, or on the suitable mixing ratio depending on the application of the silicon carbide and carbon mixture to be produced. Since it changes, it is not specified in the present invention. Moreover, although the addition ratio of water depends on the kind of oligomer of the organosilicon compound, the amount is preferably 1 to 10 times in terms of molar ratio with respect to silicon contained in the organosilicon compound oligomer. If it is less than 1 time, sufficient hydrolysis reaction may not be obtained, and if it is more than 10 times, it takes a long time to gelation, which is not preferable for production. For the water to be used, the purification method is not specified, but the purity according to the application is required. Even after the addition, it is desirable to continue stirring in order to promote a uniform reaction throughout the liquid.

Although these reactions occur even at room temperature, the reaction can be accelerated and the time until gelation can be shortened by heating. Here, the heating method is not limited as long as it can be effectively heated. However, heating at a temperature exceeding the boiling point of the solvent is not preferable because the reaction may become non-uniform.
