Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a synthetic amorphous silica powder which is suitable as a raw material for a synthetic silica glass product used in a high-temperature and reduced-pressure environment, which can yield a synthetic silica product such that the occurrence or expansion of air bubbles in the glass product is inhibited even in use in a high-temperature and reduced-pressure environment, and which can be obtained at a relatively low cost; and a process for manufacturing the same.
Abstract:
The synthetic amorphous silica powder of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a synthetic amorphous silica powder obtained by applying a spheroidizing treatment to a silica powder, and by subsequently cleaning and drying it so that the synthetic amorphous silica powder has an average particle diameter D50 of 10 to 2,000 μm; wherein the synthetic amorphous silica powder has: a quotient of 1.00 to 1.35 obtained by dividing a BET specific surface area of the powder by a theoretical specific surface area calculated from the average particle diameter D50; a real density of 2.10 to 2.20 g/cm3; an intra-particulate porosity of 0 to 0.05; a circularity of 0.75 to 1.00; and an unmolten ratio of 0.00 to 0.25. This synthetic amorphous silica powder is less in amount of gas components adsorbed to surfaces of particles of the powder and in amount of gas components within the particles, so that a synthetic silica glass product manufactured by using the powder is remarkably decreased in amount of generation or degree of expansion of gas bubbles even upon usage of the product in a high temperature and reduced pressure environment.
