Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce glass having high quality contg. no crack, inexpensively and in high yield by dipping a vessel having gas permeability in a floating liquid having high specific gravity and charging sol consisting primarily of metal alkoxide in the vessel, gelling the sol. CONSTITUTION:Floating liquid 5 (e.g. tetrabromoethane, etc.) having large specific gravity and being insoluble in sol 2 consisting primarily of metal alkoxide such as Si(OC2H5)4, is charged to a vessel a. A gas permeable vessel 3 having gas permeability on at least the bottom part is dipped into the vessel 1 in such a manner that the surface of said floating liquid 5 is higher than the inside of the bottom surface 4 of the gas permeable vessel 3. Suitable material for the vessel 3 is porous glass, ceramics having honeycomb structure, or porous polymer, etc. Then, the sol 2 is charged to the gas permeable vessel 3 and the sol is gelled. The gas permeable vessel 3 is taken out from the floating liquid 5 thereafter and the gelled product is dried therein. Obtd. dry gelled product is then discharged and sintered at ca. 1,000 deg.C in atmospheric air to obtain the glass.

In the present invention, at least the bottom part is placed in a container containing a liquid that is insoluble in a sol solution containing a metal alkoxide as a main raw material and has a large specific gravity, so that the surface of the liquid is higher than the internal bottom surface of the breathable container. After immersing an air-permeable container into the air-permeable container and putting the sol solution containing the alkoxide as the main raw material into the air-permeable container and gelling it, the air-permeable container is removed from the liquid and then placed inside the air-permeable container. By drying the glass, taking it out and sintering it, it is possible to prevent cracks, warps, chips, etc. in the glass manufacturing process using the blue gel method.

BACKGROUND ART Various methods for producing glass using a sol-gel method using metal alkoxide as the main raw material have been attempted. Sol-
An advantage of the gel method is that until now, the method for producing glass was to melt the raw materials at a high temperature of 1500°C to 2000°C and then solidify them to prevent crystals from forming. This means that it can be manufactured at a temperature as low as 100° C., thus saving energy. Additionally, since it can be manufactured at low temperatures, it is possible to manufacture glass in combination with metals that have low heat resistance. Furthermore, with the conventional method of melting raw materials at high temperatures, the ingredients sometimes did not mix uniformly when melted.
This sol-gel method does not have such problems, and has several advantages such as the possibility of producing new glass, the possibility of producing glass with high purity, and high homogeneity.

The general manufacturing method of the sol-gel method, which has many advantages as described above, is to mix the raw materials with water and alcohol (required as a solvent) to slow down hydrolysis and form a gel. After drying, the alcohol and water gradually evaporate to form a solid gel, which is then sintered (overheated) to obtain glass.

The method for producing glass according to the present invention is based on a sol whose main raw material is a metal alkoxide. In a container containing a liquid that is insoluble in fiWi and has a large specific gravity (hereinafter referred to as a float liquid), the surface of the float liquid is made of an air-permeable material such as porous glass, honeycomb structured ceramics, or porous polymer.

In the starting process shown in Figure 0fa+, first, an air-permeable container 3 made of a material such as porous glass, honeycomb structure ceramics, or porous polymer is placed in a container 1 made of glass or Teflon containing a float liquid. A float liquid which is insoluble in a sol solution containing a metal alkoxide as a main raw material and has a high specific gravity was poured into the air-permeable container until the surface of the liquid was at least higher than the inner bottom surface. At this time, if the viscosity of the sol solution 2 containing metal alkoxide as the main raw material is so large that it does not seep through the porous material that makes up the breathable container 3, it is better to make the entire breathable container 3 from a porous material. However, if this is not the case, at least the bottom of the breathable container 3 may be made of a porous material. Further, when the material of the breathable container 3 is a honeycomb structured ceramic, the holes forming the honeycomb must have an appropriate angle with respect to the float liquid. Then, the sol solution 2 containing metal alkoxide as the main raw material was put into the air-permeable container 3, and the air-permeable container 3 was covered with an air-permeable lid, and the starting step +81 was completed.
