Summary: | Among silicon dioxide (SiO2) materials, quartz ceramics based on a high-concentration suspension of vitreous silica has a special place. Methods for the production of products from vitreous silica differ vastly from those accepted in the simple glass technology. This is because the high melt viscosity of silicon dioxide at temperatures in the order of 2000°C. Quartz ceramics or vitreous silica-based materials, manufactured by ceramic processing are of great academic and practical interests. Quartz ceramics is traditionally produced from grinded plasma-treated vitreous silica [1, 2]. This work presents methods for the production of vitreous silica using low-temperature plasma (LTP) to obtain melts produced therefrom. |
