Abstract
A method for producing a nonsintered cristobalite particles comprising heating amorphous silica particles at a temperature of 1400.degree. to 1700.degree. C. in the presence of cristobalite particles (hereinafter referred to as cristobalite particles for addition and mixing) of at least 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of said amorphous silica particles to convert said amorphous silica particles to cristobalite particles with their particle form kept unchanged. According to the present invention, dense cristobalite having a low alkali content can be obtained in the form of particles. Such cristobalite is used as a filler, a dispersing agent, etc., and also as a material for high-quality artificial quartz, ceramics, etc., and particularly as a material for transparent quartz glass because of its generating no bubbles at the time of melt-molding.
