Synthesis of nano-silica using water glass in a Sol-Gel process is one of several methods to manufacture nano-silica. In nano-silica synthesized from water glass, there are various metal impurities. However, synthesis of nano-silica using water glass in a Sol-Gel process is an interesting method because it is relatively simple and cheap. In this study, nano-silica was synthesized from water glass; we investigated the effect of pH on the synthesis of nano-silica. The morphology of the nanosilica with pH 2 was flat, but the surface of the nano-silica with pH 10 had holes similar to small craters. As a result of ICP-OES analysis, the amount of Na in the nano-silica with pH 2 was found to be 170 mg/kg. On the other hand, the amount of Na in the nano-silica with pH 10 was found to be 56,930 mg/kg. After calcination, the crystal structure of the nano-silica with pH 2 was amorphous. The crystal structure of the nano-silica with pH 10 transformed from amorphous to tridymite. This is because elemental Na in the nano-silica had the effect of decreasing the phase transformation temperature.

As grouting materials for ground improvement, silicate materials such as water glass, silica-sol and so forth are used worldwide. However, they may pollute underground water. In this study, fish poison test(Korean standard industrial code KS M 0111) which estimates toxicity for fish is applied to evaluate the toxic effect by grouting materials. From the test result of the sample made of LW, LC50(Median Lethal Concentration) reaches within 24 hours. In case of the silica-sol, it does not even in 96 hours. Therefore, we can conclude that the sililca-sol grouting method is more free from the danger of underground water pollution. From the result that the mortality of fish under the condition of pH 8.6 is 0% within 96 hours, the groundwater can be saved by controlling pH below 8.6 for the grouting in the field.

본 연구에서는 용탈 저감 효과가 있는 합성폴리머 실리카졸의 그라우트 성능을 평가하고, 기존 물유리계 SGR 주입재와 비교한 내용을 다루었다. 강도 및 내구성에 대한 실내실험 결과 합성폴리머 실리카졸는 물유리계 주입재 대비 2배 이상 높은 일축압축강도, 수축률 및 투수성에서 현저히 낮은 값을 보여주었고, pH는 먹는 물 수질기준인 8.5 이하였다. 용탈시험결과 합성폴리머 실리카졸의 Na₂O 용출량은 물유리계 주입재 대비 3~4배 작게 측정되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 합성폴리머 실리카졸은 기존 물유리계 주입재보다 더 우수한 내구성 및 차수성을 가지는 것으로 판단된다.

Silica nano-powder (SNP) is an inorganic material able to provide high-performance in various fields because of its multiple functions. Methods used to synthesize high purity SNP, include crushing silica minerals, vapor reaction of silica chloride, and a sol-gel process using TEOS and sodium silicate solution. The sol-gel process is the cheapest method for synthesis of SNP, and was used in this study. First, we investigated the shape and the size of the silica-powder particles in relation to the variation of HCl and sodium silicate concentrations. After drying, the shape of nano-silica powder differed in relation to variations in the HCl concentration. As the pH of the solution increased, so did the density of crosslinking. Initially, there was NaCl in the SNP. To increase its purity, we adopted a washing process that included centrifugation and filtration. After washing, the last of the NaCl was removed using DI water, leaving only amorphous silica powder. The purity of nano-silica powder synthesized using sodium silicate was over 99.6%.

CuCl nanocrystallites dispersed nonlinear optical silica and borosilicate glasses were fabricated by sol-gel process. CuCl powder was dissolved in TEOS(Si(OC2H5)4) and TMB((CH3O)3B), precursors of silica and borosilicate glasses, with ethanol, water and HCl, and precipitated through the heat treatment in the matrix glass. The optical properties of CuCl doped glasses were measured using the spectrophotometer at room temperature and low temperature(77K); Z1, 2 and Z3 exciton peaks from the absorption spectra, were observed at about 370 nm and 380 nm, respectively. The average radius of nanocrystallites, calculated from the blue shift of Z3 excitons, was measured according to annealing temperature and time. The precipitation temperature of CuCl nanocrystallites was decreased when boron was added to silica glass. Increase of annealing temperature and time made average radius of nanocrystallites saturated about 2 nm.

A nano structured silica aerogel thin film was manufactured from inexpensive sodium silicate (water glass) using an ambient pressure drying method. High purity silicic sol was prepared by passing a water glass solution through an ion exchange resin, and the gel films were prepared on a modified glass substrate via dip coating. The dip coating conditions, such as coating time and solvent, were optimized. The optical and physical properties of the obtained silica aerogel thin film were characterized using a UV-visable spectrometer and a scanning electron microscope.

차수 및 지반안정을 목적으로 규산나트륨을 사용한 기존의 알칼리성 물유리계 약액주입공법은 주입 후 시간경과에 따라 지하수에 의해 주입고결체로부터 알칼리성분의 용탈이 진행되어 내구성이 약해지고 지하수를 오염시키는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 규산나트륨 주입재의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 개발된 알칼리성 실리카졸 지반주입재의 효과를 규명하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 연구비교대상으로는 규산나트륨 주입재와 알칼리성 실리카졸 주입재로 하였다. 규산나트륨과 알칼리성 실리카졸 용액에 대하여 보통 포틀랜트 시멘트와 고로 슬래그 시멘트를 각각 배합하여 총 4가지의 Case로 나누어 공시체를 제작하여 시험을 실시하였다. 재령에 따른 일축압축강도 시험을 실시하였고, 환경영향성평가를 위하여 어독성시험과 pH시험을 실시하여 비교 및 분석을 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고로 슬래그 시멘트를 배합한 알칼리성 실리카졸 지반주입재가 우수한 강도와 친환경성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Hollow silica spheres were prepared by spray drying of precursor solution of colloidal silica. The precursor solution is composed of 10-20 nm colloidal silica dispersed in a water or ethanol-water mixture solvent with additives of tris hydroxymethyl aminomethane. The effect of pH and concentrations of the precursor and additives on the formation of hollow sphere particles was studied. The spray drying process parameters of the precursor feeding rate, inlet temperature, and gas flow rate are controlled to produce the hollow spherical silica. The mixed solvent of ethanol and water was preferred because it improved the hollowness of the spheres better than plain water did. It was possible to obtain hollow silica from high concentration of 14.3 wt% silica precursor with pH 3. The thermal conductivity and total solar reflectivity of the hollow silica sample was measured and compared with those values of other commercial insulating fillers of glass beads and $TiO_2$ for applications of insulating paint, in which the glass beads are representative of the low thermal conductive fillers and the $TiO_2$ is representative of infrared reflective fillers. The thermal conductivity of hollow silica was comparable to that of the glass beads and the total solar reflectivity was higher than that of $TiO_2$.
