Kvande et al. (2009) also report silica glass crucibles containing 160 ppm of Al impurity and 5 ppm of Fe impurity. Therefore, this work presents that, with further efforts on optimizing conditions of physical and chemical treatments, a very interesting high purity silica resource can be obtained, both in quality and in cost.
The high silica content in the sand allows it to melt at high temperatures and form a molten glass material. When cooled, the glass retains its transparency, allowing the transmission of light ...
1. Introduction. Silica ceramics have been applied to many key engineering and production fields due to their outstanding properties. On the one hand, since silica ceramics possess low thermal expansion coefficients, thermal conductivities [1, 2] and excellent thermal resistances [2, 3], they are widely used in the high temperature …
World reserves of bauxite include vast quantities of ore which at present are sub-economic due to high levels of reactive silica that cause expensive loss of caustic soda during Bayer processing. As the economic reserves of high grade ores diminish, attention is turning to how these lower grade ores may be processed at reasonable cost. This paper …
The preparation of silica by the sol-gel process usually involves the use of a silicon alkoxide. When the solvent, catalyst and ratios of different components are kept constant, the particular alkoxide used can be varied. This paper represents a systematic study of how the alkoxide can affect the gelation rate and the properties of the gel formed.

It has been suggested that morphogenesis of nanopatterned silica in diatoms generally requires two components: first, mole- cules like LCPA or natSil1A that accelerate silica formation, and second, natSil2-like molecules that exhibit regulatory properties (5).However, because the biosilica architecture of C. fusiformis is rather unusual, being …

Fig. 1 shows XRD patterns of the Si-derived silica-bonded SiC membrane supports sintered with 20 wt% Si. Phase contents analyzed by the Rietveld method (Table 1) showed that α-cristobalite was the oxidation product in SB20 when the sintering temperature was at 1300–1400 °C (SB20–1300, SB20–1350, SB20–1400).In contrast, …
The use of fused silica material is crucial in various scientific applications; however, its chemical inertness and brittle nature pose challenges to machining and fabrication processes. The present study introduced a dynamic plasma flow system for medium-pressure plasma processing of fused silica substrate to address this issue. The …
The thermal processing performance of fused silica depends on temperature. The molding of fused silica requires the material temperature to be higher than the melting point of the glass (about 2200 K), and materials' removal by heating above the evaporation temperature is the main mechanism of CO 2 laser processing. However, localized high …
This work is the first demonstration of rapid thermal processing techniques as applied to metal oxide/silica membranes on tubular geometries. A procedure was developed which combined fast sol–gel synthesis, rapid calcination steps and a thermal annealing stage to reduce the membrane fabrication time by more than two-thirds, from …
Laser irradiation of silica glass is shown to trigger redistribution of material resulting in accumulation of stress and refractive index modification, and the rearrangement of the glass network ...
The synthesis routes are mainly divided into gaseous (thermal), mechanical (milling) and liquid (wet) routes, each producing silica micro/nano systems with distinct properties [1].These routes can give a wide range of silica materials in terms of size, specific surface area, porosity, morphology, or surface chemistry, that can be tuned by …
Diatoms have continued to attract research interest over a long time. One important reason for this research interest is the amazingly beautiful microstructured and nanostructured patterning of the silica-based diatom cell walls. These materials become increasingly important from the materials science point of view. However, many aspects …
Cordierite-silica bonded porous SiC ceramics were fabricated by infiltrating a porous powder compact of SiC with cordierite sol followed by sintering at 1300–1400 °C in air.The porosity, average pore diameter and flexural strength of the ceramics varied 30–36 vol%, ~ 4–22 µm and ~ 13–38 MPa respectively with variation of sintering temperature …
of around 1800°C. The silica produced by the gas phase hydrolysis is extremely fine and the reaction gases form aerosols which cannot be aggregated[9]. Therefore, the silica aerogel in the gaseous phase is first aggregated into larger silica particles in an aggregator, and then the produced silica semi-finished products are collected in a
