ABSTRACT:
To prepare crystalline sodium silicates having a laminated structure, a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 to Na.sub.2 O of (1.9 to 2.1) 1 and a water content of less than 0.3% by weight from a water glass solution which has a solids content of at least 20% by weight and is obtained by reaction of sand with sodium hydroxide solution in a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 : Na.sub.2 O of (2.0 to 2.3) : 1, the water glass solution is treated with hot air of 200.degree. to 300.degree. C. in a spray drying zone to form a pulverulent, amorphous sodium silicate having a water content (determined as the loss on ignition at 700.degree. C.) of 15 to 23% by weight. The pulverulent, amorphous, water-containing sodium silicate is first ground, preferably to particle sizes of 1 to 50 .mu.m, before it is introduced into an inclined rotary tubular oven and treated in this in countercurrent with flue gas at temperatures of more than 500.degree. to 850.degree. C. to form crystalline sodium silicate. The sodium silicate issuing from the rotary tubular oven is first comminuted to particle sizes of 0.1 to 12 mm and finally ground to particle sizes of 2 to 400 .mu.m.
