FUSED SILICA FROM SILICA SAND

Fused silica  is a high purity silicon  dioxide  is  either transparent  or  translucent. The nontransparent  fused  material contains a large number of microscopic bubbler that create a milky appearance causes  by  the scattering of light.  This material is sometimes  called as a translucent fused silica. Fused silica  is available  in a number of grade for different  application. Fused silica is used for window, lenses prism and other application.

Fused  silica  should apply to any foam  of  vitreous  silica manufactured by fusion, however it has been used by some to denote all vitreous silica  not  produced  by quartz fusion and by other for only the translucent vitreous silica.

Method  for the manufacture of translucent fused silica by fusion of sand surrounding a graphite rod  through which a current is passed and subsequent manipulation of the hot plastic material were patented around the turn of century.
