Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To obtain high-purity quartz glass powder in high yield, by adding water and an alcohol to a silicate to give a solution, dispersing or suspending the solution in a liquid having no compatibility with it to form powdery or granular gel, then calcining it. CONSTITUTION:100-300pts.vol. water and 0.25pts.vol. alcohol are added to 100pts.vol. silicate. The raw material solution is dispersed or suspended in a liquid such as hexane, xylene, etc., substantially having no compatibility with the raw material solution. Powdery or granular gel formed by the treatment is separated from the mother liquor, washed, dried, and calcined. By this method, high-purity quartz glass powder useful as a main raw material for optical fiber of multicomponent system is obtained in high yield without producing dust.
