A silicic acid filter cake and suspension agent are fed to a container equipped with a stirrer having a peripheral speed of about 20-30 m/sec. The ratio of container diameter to stirrer diameter is about 3:1. The ratio of container diameter to level of filling is a maximum of about 1:2. The container contains at least about 1.5 to about 2 kg of silicic acid suspension, for each 1 kg of silicic acid filter cake which is added to the container. The contents of the container is mixed while maintaining a pH of at most about 4. A portion of the resulting silicic acid suspension is drawn off from the zone of highest turbulence in the container. An apparatus for carrying out the process is provided.

Apparatus for preparation of a sprayable precipitated silicic acid

A finely divided silicic acid having a pH&gt;6 is prepared by spray drying, in the presence of a base or basic-reacting substance, a highly concentrated silicic acid suspension having excess, unwanted acidity.
