Various effective  parameters on the method were investigated. In this research, the results show the mean particle size and surface area of prepared colloidal  silica are influenced by formation temperature, titration rate, silicic acid and alkaline solutions concentration. Low titration rate of slicic acid, high formation temperature and low concentration of silicic acid and alkaline solution would help the particle growth to form the larger particle size of colloidal silica. }, keywords = {Colloidal silica,Sol-gel chemistry,Surface area,Particle Size}, url = {https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_6948.html}, eprint = {https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_6948_87f189bcf21527ea9623f0e6c38b1095.pdf} }
