Flame Temperature Distribution and SiO2 Particles Distribution in Oxyhydrogen Flame

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the production process of synthetic silica glass, SiCl4 as precursor is imported in oxyhydrogen flame, SiO2 particles generate and distribute with different states along the flame. The flame temperature and the distance above the burner are important factors to affect the particle diameters and morphologies. The 2D distribution of flame temperature was measured using sodium line-reversal method. The diameters and morphologies of SiO2 particles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at 50mm, 100mm, 200mm, and 300mm above the burner. The results show that the flame temperature ranges from 2130°C to 2320°C, and the average diameter of SiO2 spherical particles increases from 50nm to 105nm as the distance increasing from 50mm to 200mm. The optimum deposition distance was discussed.
