To water-containing amorphous sodium silicate with a molar ratio SiO2 /Na2 O of 1.7:1 to 3.75:1 and a water content of 5 to 95% by weight is added 0.01 to 30 parts by weight of the crystalline sodium silicate to be prepared (per 100 parts by weight of Na2 O+SiO2 in the water-containing amorphous sodium silicate).The reaction mixture is dehydrated by heating. The dehydrated reaction mixture is kept at a temperature of at least 450° C., but below the melting point, until the sodium silicate has crystallized. |
