Abstract
A process for producing zinc oxide-containing spherical silica, which comprises emulsifying, in an organic solvent containing a surfactant, a dispersion having zinc oxide with a particle size of from 0.005 to 0.5 .mu.m dispersed in an aqueous alkali metal silicate solution in an amount of from 10 to 70 wt % based on the total amount of zinc oxide and SiO.sub.2 in the aqueous alkali metal silicate solution, followed by gelation of the resulting emulsion with carbon dioxide gas.
