Synthesis of fine foamed glass material made from natural amorphous silica oxide with nanodimensional porosity

The article shows that amorphous silica oxide may interact with alkalis forming hydrated polysilicates which are, as a matter of fact, raw material for silicate glasses synthesis. A necessary condition for homogeneous hydropolysilicate formation is presence of nano-porosity in mineral amorphous silica oxide. During heat treatment of the received material gas evolution, accompanying the process of glass cooking, can be used in steady foams creation - cellular glasses - in the area of fluid glasss high viscosity.
