A large-size silica glass was fabricated with a new sol-gel process involving the following procedures: (a) hydrolysis of Si(OC2H5)4with HCl, (b) addition of silica powders and their high dispersion, (c) adjustment of the pH value by adding ammonia solution, (d) gellation, (e) drying to dry-gel, and (f) sintering to silica glass. With this process a dry-gel plate as large as 520 x 360 mm2was obtained, which was sintered to a 420 x 290 mm2sized silica glass. The effect of pH on the gelation time of the sol, and the correlation between the weight percentage of silica powder and porosity of dry-gel were examined. In addition, fiber preforms were produced by this sol-gel process.
