摘要:
In a known method for producing a mold body from synthetic quartz glass, quartz glass granules (15) are heated in an electrically heated melt container (31) to form a softened quartz glass mass (57), and the softened quartz glass mass (57) is formed to the mold body.

The invention starts from a method for producing a crucible of quartz glass in that SiO 2 inner layer granules are vitrified in a rotating melting mold (1), which is covered at least in part by a heat shield (2), in a light gas-containing atmosphere under the action of a plasma to obtain a transparent inner layer, at least part of the light gas being supplied to the melting mold (1) through a gas inlet (8,9) of the heat shield. In order to form an inner layer with a particularly low bubble content and with minimal efforts in terms of energy and material, it is proposed that in a layer-forming step preceding the vitrifying step, a granule layer (14) of the SiO 2 inner layer granules is formed on the inner wall, and wherein the plasma zone (13) and the heat shield (2) together with the gas inlet (8,9) are movable at least in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and are moved laterally in the direction of the granule layer (14) during the vitrifying step so as to vitrify the granule layer (14).

Bei einem bekannten Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Bauteils, das mindestens bereichsweise aus seltenerdmetalldotiertem Quarzglas besteht, wird ein Hohlräume enthaltendes Zwischenprodukts (5) aus einem mit Seltenerdmetall dotierten SiO 2 -Rohstoff in eine Sinterform eingebracht, deren Innenraum von einer kohlenstoffhaltigen Formwandung (9) begrenzt ist und darin durch Gasdrucksintern bei einer Maximal-Temperatur oberhalb von 1500 °C zu dem Bauteil erschmolzen, wobei zwischen der Formwandung (9) und dem Zwischenprodukt (5) eine Abschirmung (6 , 7, 8) angeordnet ist.

The production of synthetic quartz glass granules by vitrifying a free-flowing SiO 2 granulate from porous granulate particles is time-consuming and expensive. The aim of the invention is to provide a method that allows a continuous and cost-effective production of dense synthetic quartz glass granules on the basis of porous SiO 2 granulate. According to the invention, this is achieved by the following method steps: (a) granulating pyrogenically produced silicic acid with the formation of the SiO 2 granulate made of porous granulate particles; (b) drying the SiO 2 granulate; (c) cleaning the SiO 2 granulate by heating in an atmosphere containing halogen in a cleaning furnace; and (d) vitrifying the cleaned SiO 2 granulate by sintering in a vitrifying furnace with the formation of quartz glass granules. The drying, cleaning, and vitrifying of the SiO 2 granulate are each carried out in a rotary tube of a rotary tube furnace, said rotary tube rotating about a central axis. The rotary tube furnace used for vitrifying has a rotary tube, the inner wall of which consists of a ceramic material with a higher softening temperature than undoped quartz glass. Said rotary tube is flooded with a low-nitrogen treating gas or flushed with the treating gas, said gas containing at least 30 vol.% helium and/or hydrogen.
