Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017103167A2] The invention relates to a method for producing a silica glass article, involving method steps i.) providing a silica granulate, the providing involving at least the steps of: I. providing silica powder; and II. processing the silica powder so as to obtain a silica granulate, the silica granulate having a larger particle diameter than the silica powder, the processing involving the following steps: 1) processing the silica powder to obtain a silica granulate I that has a first carbon content w C(1), 2) treating silica granulate I with a reactant so as to obtain a silica granulate II having another carbon content, w C(2), which is lower than the first carbon content w C(1); ii.) forming a glass melt from the silica granulate, and iii.) forming a silica glass article from at least some of the glass melt. The invention further relates to a silica glass article that can be obtained by said method. The invention also relates to an optical waveguide, an illuminant and a molded article, each of which can be obtained by further processing the silica glass article. The invention finally relates to a silica granulate II that can be obtained as an intermediate product in the disclosed method.
