  • the X-ray characterization can also be found in EP-B-164514, which also gives the numbers of the corresponding entries in the JCPDS file.
  • DE-A-3417849 does not explicitly set itself the task of producing the delta modification of the layered disilicate, but is limited from the above-mentioned literature reference in glass technology. Report that the delta modification could not be obtained by the process there.

  • the process is characterized in that a) a water glass solution having a solids content of 20 to 65% by weight is spray-dried such that the exhaust gas from the spray drying has a temperature of at least 140 ° C.
  • amorphous sodium silicate is first dissolved in water and then converted into a water-containing, powdery form by evaporation of the water, for example by spray drying, which is then tempered.
  • WO91 / 08171 describes a process for the hydrothermal production of crystalline sodium disilicate, in which an aqueous silicate solution is heated at a temperature of at least 235 ° C. under autogenous pressure in a pressure vessel, the crystalline layer-like sodium disilicate precipitating.

In practice it is possible that these products do not have the exact composition Na 2 Si 2 O 5 , but instead deviate from this strictly stoichiometric composition. In particular, it is possible for some of the sodium ions to be replaced by hydrogen ions, so that the products have a lower analytical sodium content or an increased silicon content. Accordingly, the analytical ratio SiO 2 : Na 2 O of the crystalline sodium disilicates obtained by the process according to the invention can be approximately in the range between 1.9: 1 and 2.3: 1.

  • This most intense reflex occurs at a 2 ⁇ value of 22.4 ° and is created by superimposing a strong reflex of the ß and the delta modification with d values of 3.96 and 3.97 A.
  • the diagram in the figure shows a height ratio of 0.06. Accordingly, the ⁇ -modification content of 6% is attributed to the crystal mixture.
  • the water content of the water-containing atmosphere is adjusted so that the water vapor partial pressure is between 0.012 and 1 bar, preferably between 0.02 and 0.70 bar.
  • This can be done, for example, by keeping the tempered material in contact with a gas stream, for example an air stream, which has the corresponding water content during the tempering process.
  • This water content can be adjusted, for example, by saturating the gas stream with water vapor by passing it through water of the appropriate temperature.
  • the relationship between the saturation pressure of water and the water temperature is known, for example from Ullmanns Encyklopadie der Technische Chemie, 4th edition 1983, volume 24, page 170.

If, for example, the water vapor partial pressure is increased to 0.3 bar by saturating the gas stream passed through the furnace with water vapor at 70 ° C, the content of ⁇ modification in the product decreases to values between 15 and 25% under the same tempering conditions.

  • the solids content of the water glass solution used for moistening is preferably above 10% by weight, in particular between 20 and 55% by weight.
  • a melting glass as the amorphous starting product, the modulus of which is already close to the desired value of 2.

  • silica-richer melting glasses can also be used in the process if, instead of using a water glass solution, the solution is preferably moistened with 50% by weight sodium hydroxide solution and the amount of sodium hydroxide solution is measured so that the moist tempering mixture has a SiO 2 : Na 2 O ratio between 1.1 9 and 2.1. If, for example, a melting glass with module 2.45 is assumed, this can be brought to a module of 2 before tempering if 100 g of melting glass are moistened with 17.2 g of 50% sodium hydroxide solution.

If the method is to be used in the embodiment in which the ground amorphous water glass is moistened with a water glass solution or with sodium hydroxide solution, this moistening can already take place during the grinding process. In order to avoid contamination of the product with metal abrasion, it is advisable to use mills and grinding media that have a ceramic, in particular a silicate-ceramic lining.
