Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily produce thick-walled glass which is free from impurities such as metal ions, crystal and a foreign matter having an indefinite shape and is homogeneous and high quality by mixing the specified first liquid and second liquid in a prescribed proportion and charging the obtained sol in a thick-walled state and allowing it to gel. CONSTITUTION:A soln. (hereafter referred to as a first liquid) dispersed with fine silica particles is prepared by the hydrolytic reaction of alkylsilicate under a basic catalyst. Further a soln. (hereafter referred to as a second liquid) is prepared by the hydrolytic reaction of alkylsilicate under an acidic catalyst. Sol is prepared by mixing the above-mentioned first liquid and second liquid in a prescribed proportion. This sol is charged in the thickness not less than 2cm and allowed to gel to obtain wet gel and this is dried to obtain dry gel and thereafter it is sintered to produce a transparent glass body. High-quality thick-walled glass which is free from impurities such as metal ions, crystal and a foreign matter having an indefinite shape and is homogeneous is easily obtained.
