A process has been developed which allows the preparation of some solid ceramic fibers. In this process, activated carbon fibers which are porous throughout their entire diameter are impregnated with metal‐containing solutions such as silicon tetrachloride. Calcination and sintering result in the formation of solid SiO 2 fibers. Use of woven mats or nonwoven felts of activated carbon fibers results in the formation of woven mats or nonwoven felts of silica fibers.
