Latest Patents
Andreas Brueckel holds a patent for a "Method for producing synthetic quartz glass." This invention relates to a process that involves vaporizing a polyalkylsiloxane as a liquid SiO feedstock. The method includes converting the vaporized SiO feedstock into SiO particles, separating these particles, forming a soot body, and vitrifying the soot body. A key aspect of this invention is the vaporizing of the heated SiO feedstock, which comprises an injection phase in an expansion chamber. During this phase, the SiO feedstock is atomized into fine droplets with an average diameter of less than 5 micrometers. The atomizing process occurs in a preheated carrier gas stream with a temperature exceeding 180°C.
