Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To obtain fine hollow silicate spheres having a uniform grain size and high compressive strength by forming fine liq. droplets contg. silicate and a compressive strength increaser, allowing the droplets to gel in an expandable state, and expanding and vitrifying the gelled spheres. CONSTITUTION:Silicate and a compressive strength increaser are agitated in a liq. medium contg. a surfactant to form fine liq. droplets contg. the silicate and the increaser. The droplets are allowed to gel in an expandable state, and the gelled fine spheres are expanded at a high temp. and vitrified. It is especially preferable to use a mixture of sorbitan fatty acid ester with polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid monoester as the surfactant because a stable emulsion is obtd. An org. liq. medium such as benzene, toluene, xylene, kerosene, trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene or a mixture thereof is used as the liq. medium.
