150 words
A METHOD FOR PREPARING A SILICEOUS AERGEL. CHARACTEROZED BY A PARTICLE DENSITY OF LESS THAN 0.4 GRAM/CC., WHICH COMRPRISES REACTING, IN AN AQUEOUS MEDIA, AN ALKALI METAL SILICATE, A MINERAL ACID AND A WATER-SOLUBLE ALKALI METAL SALT OF AN ACID SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ACETIC ACID AND A MINERAL ACID TO FORM A SILICEOUS HYDROSOL HAVING A TEMPERATURE ABOVE ITS FREEZING POINT BUT BELOW ABOUT 150*F. CHATACTERIZED BY AN ALKALINITY, EXPRESSED AS THE MOL RATIO OF UNNEUTRALIZED ALKALI METAL HYDROXIDE TO SILICA, OF BETWEEN 0.3 AND 0.7; AN ALKALI METAL SALT CONCENTRATION OF BETWEEN ABOUT 0.3 AND ABOUT 3 GRAMS EQUIVALENTS PER LITER AND A SILICIA CONCENTRATION OF BETWEEN ABOUT 50 AND ABOUT 300 GRAMS SIO2 PER LITER OF HYDROSOL, PERMITTING THE RESULTING HYDROSOL TO SET TO A HYDROGEL, WASHING THE HYDROGEL FREE OF WATER-SOLUBLE MATERIAL AND DRYING THE PRODUCT SO OBTAINED UNDER CONDITIONS OF SUBSTANTIALLY ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
