Abstract: Employing homemade SiO2 and analytic Zn2SiO4 as raw materials and NaOH as reaction medium, the influences of reaction temperature, molar ratio of NaOH to SiO2 and reaction time on the extraction ratio of silica were investigated. The appropriate reaction conditions were obtained as reaction temperature of 450℃, molar ratio of NaOH to SiO2 of 2.4∶1 and reaction time of 60min. Silica reacted with NaOH to form Na2SiO3 at first and then was transformed into Na4SiO4 along with temperature rising. The appropriate reaction conditions of Zn2SiO4 roasting were reaction temperature of 500℃, molar ratio of NaOH to Zn2SiO4 of 20∶1 and reaction time of 150min. Na2ZnSiO4 and Na2ZnO2 were formed when Zn2SiO4 reacted with NaOH. Silicon oxygen tetrahedron reacted with NaOH to form Na2SiO3 when the roasting temperature reached 350℃, and then Na2SiO3 was transformed into Na4SiO4.
