Abstract

A porous glass base material manufacturing system that does not require the manufacturing apparatus and building to be hazardous material-compatible and that can provide a stable supply of raw materials, even when organic siloxane raw material is used as raw materials to produce silica fine particles includes a raw material supplying apparatus and a porous glass base material manufacturing apparatus. The raw material supplying apparatus includes: a raw material tank in which organic siloxane raw material in a liquid state is stored and the remaining space is filled with inert gas; a liquid feed pump to pump the organic siloxane raw material from the raw material tank; a circulating piping and a branch piping through which the raw material pumped is passed; a liquid mass flow controller that controls the flow rate of organic siloxane raw material passed through the branch piping to a predetermined flow rate; and a vaporizer.
