Abstract

A process for preparing silica gel is disclosed. The silica gel is produced by immersing a base in silica sol, drying the impregnated base in a mixed solution of an alkali silicate and an alkali hydroxide, removing the impregnated base form the mixed solution, heating the impregnated base, and subsequently treating the impregnated base with an acid. A sufficient amount of silica gel for use as a dehumidifying element can be produced through a single series of treatments.
