Abstract: High purity synthetic quartz glass particles are derived from alkali metal silicate and have a total amount of metal impurities content of at least 1 &mgr;g/g and, in particular, have oxygen-deficient defects. The high-purity synthetic quartz glass particles having high viscosity similar to natural quartz and high-purity similar to known synthetic quartz can be provided at a low cost.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a chlorinated rubber wherein an acidic or highly acidic chlorinated rubber cake obtained after chlorinating a rubber latex or an aqueous dispersion is subjected to fluidized drying together with a drying medium to obtain a preliminary dried powder, and the preliminary dried powder is subjected to fluidized drying again. According to the present invention, a high quality chlorinated rubber can be obtained efficiently with easy handling from an acidic or highly acidic chlorinated rubber cake obtained after chlorinating a rubber latex or an aqueous dispersion.
