The production of silica is a high-stakes industrial application.

The physical properties of silica, such as the size, specific surface and porosity, make it a high added-value product which can be used for a large number of applications.

The precipitation reaction phase is crucial in the silica production line because the main characteristics of the end-product depend on it.

In-line monitoring of this reaction and understanding of its mechanisms represent a critical step in the process which we will seek to analyze.
