Abstract

The physicochemical specifics of the process of drying of bulk silica gel molded from mixed sols (tethracthylsilicate hydrolyzate: aerosil) are considered. The results of the experimental studies of kinetic drying curves of bulk-formed silica gels depending on the process conditions and modes are presented.
