Abstract: A method for producing synthetic quartz glass by fusion of SiO2 granulate involves synthesizing amorphous SiO2 primary particles, granulating the amorphous SiO2 primary particles to form an open-pore SiO2 granulate, sintering the open-pore SiO2 granulate by heating in a sintering atmosphere at a sintering temperature and for a sintering period to form a densified SiO2 granulate, and melting the densified SiO2 granulate at a melting temperature to form the synthetic quartz glass. To provide an inexpensive production of low-bubble transparent components of quartz glass despite the use of still open-pore SiO2 granulate, the sintering atmosphere, sintering temperature and sintering duration are adjusted such that the densified SiO2 granulate still comprises open pores but manifests a material-specific infrared transmission T1700 at a wavelength of 1700 nm. This transmission is in the range of 50-95% of the infrared transmission T1700 of quartz glass granules of the same material.
