Influence of pH, Temperature and Sample Size on Natural and Enforced Syneresis of Precipitated Silica
The production of silica is performed by mixing an inorganic, silicate-based precursor and an acid. Monomeric silicic acid forms and polymerizes to amorphous silica particles. Both further polymerization and agglomeration of the particles lead to a gel network. Since polymerization continues after g...
