Method of producing spherical silica powder

Spherical silica powder is produced by feeding silica powder having an average particle size of 0.3-40 mum to a burner flame formed with a flammable gas so as to continuously melt and spheroidize the particles within the flame. The use of a non-halogenated siloxane and / or alkoxysilane as an auxiliary flame-generating source raises the flame temperature and increases the length of the composite flame formed by combustion of the fuel gas with the siloxane or alkoxysilane. Moreover, the fine particles of silica that form as a result of siloxane or alkoxysilane combustion unite and coalesce with the particles of starting silica. These effects accelerate melting and spheroidization of the starting silica powder, resulting in thermally efficient and cost-effective spherical silica powder production.

Chromium-free metal surface treatment agent

Provided is a chromium-free metal surface treatment agent excellent in rust inhibitive performance which can be used in a surface treatment of metal products, in particular, galvanized metal products. The metal surface treatment agent consists essentially of a siliceous binder solution comprising water and / or alcohol as a solvent, and the concentration of the silica component is 8 to 25% by weight. In particular, a metal surface treatment agent containing an alcoholic solution of alkoxysilane oligomer having a weight averaged molecular weight of 1000 to 10000, which is obtained by hydrolyzed condensation polymerization of alkoxysilane, can suppress the occurrence of white rusting for a long time. It is preferred that 3 to 25 parts by weight of a dispersed nano-sized titanium dioxide powder having an average primary particle size of not more than 70 nm, per 100 parts by weight of the silica component be suspended in the siliceous binder solution. The rust inhibitive performance of the metal surface treatment agent can be further improved by using an alcohol-soluble polyvinyl butyral resin and by adding a silane coupling agent having a vinyl or epoxy group as a functional group, in combination with a dispersed nano-sized powder of titanium dioxide.
