The studies were performed on production of silica particles in emulsion medium. Precipitation of silicon dioxide was performed from aqueous solutions of sodium metasilicate and hydrochloric acid. A non-ionic surfactant (Rokanol K7) was applied as the emulsifier. Heptane formed the organic phase. Optimum compositions of emulsion and appropriate parameters of silica precipitation were de- termined. Particle size and morphology of the formed dispersions were examined using scanning elec- tron microscopy (SEM). Dispersion character of the examined colloids was also defined using the non-invasive back scattering method (NIBS). Moreover, studies were conducted on sedimentation and wettability of the products with water and, at the final stage, adsorptive analysis was conducted.
