Abstract
Experimental parameters to produce monolithic pure silica and
multi-component silicate glasses by controlled hydrolysis of ethyl
orthosilicate have been discussed in detail. Preliminary results of an
attempt to produce UV transparent pure silica discs are presented.
Amount of water used for hydrolysis, acid concentration and concentration
of ethyl orthosilicate have been found to be the main
parameters which control the process.
