Time required for the change of the solution to a gel was measured as the reaction rate criterion. Measured dependences of the gel-point time on KOH concentration in the reaction solution exhibit a linear trend. The gel-point time decreases with increasing temperature. A measurable increase in pH value of the solution appears during the reaction. Measurement of the gel-point time for different Si/Al molar ratios has confirmed that the selected ratio 2:1 has been optimal. For a quantitative description of the reaction course and for explanation of the observed phenomena, the theories of polycondensation reactions and protolytic equilibria have been applied.
