Abstract:
This invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical glass in order to prevent the deterioration of the burner used in the synthesis of glass particles that form the optical glass, and to obtain a stable quality optical glass. In this invention, the number of residual bubbles with a diameter of 0.3 mm and more is 0.005/cm3 or less per unit volume of the optical glass. Such optical glass is obtained by controlling the temperature of an end face of the burner for glass synthesis during the deposition of the glass particles by regulating the relationship of the flow velocity or the flow volume between an inflammable gas and a combustion-supporting gas.

Abstract:
Thermally stable, mechanically strong microporous glass articles with large pore volumes, surface areas, and varying pore sizes, and methods for making such articles are disclosed. In particle form, such as beads, the microporous glass articles are useful as catalyst supports in applications such as petroleum catalytic refiners, chemical processes and motor vehicle catalytic mufflers. The mechanical strength and the dimensional stability of the microporous glass articles at elevated temperatures can be improved if the articles are preshrunk, such as by brief exposure to high temperatures, before their intended use, and can be improved even further if treated with certain metal oxides.
