The present invention comprises a process for the manufacture of a sodium silicate solution in a continuous manner from a silicon dioxide-containing material, comprising continuously adding to a reaction zone a stream of said silicon dioxide-containing material and a stream of a sodium hydroxide-sodium carbonate solution, reacting said silicon dioxide-containing material and said sodium
Synthetic cristobalite is made by heating quartz sand in the presence of a catalyst (alkali metal compounds) in rotary kilns at about 1500 C (purity about 85–90% cristobalite together with a vitreous SiO 2 phase). Cristobalite and tridymite are also found in silica bricks from so‐called Martin furnaces and as a devitrification product of

Silica is also used to make glass. Silica (Quartz) is chemical compound silicon dioxide SiO2. Silica is often found in nature as sand (non coastal), usually in the form of quartz. The most common form of manufactured silica is glass. Silica, is a natural compound that has a crystal characteristic and can be found in beach sand.
