Abstract

More perfect, less porous hollow microspheres can be prepared by spray-drying dispersions of alkali metal silicate and "polysalt" that contain certain organic liquids. The organics are water-miscible and have boiling points of 100.degree. C. or more. The solvent is added just prior to spray drying and the resulting product has fewer cracks and/or holes.
