In this study, the effects of catalyst and DCCA content were investigated in order to determine the optimum conditions of monolithic silica gel formation through sol-gel process. Formamide, oxalic acid, glycerol and dimethylformamide are used as DCCA. To observe the phenomena in drying and heat-treating of gels, we examined structural exchange of gels using FT-IR, TG-DTA and XRD. Monolithic gels were obtained by adding formamide and dimethylformamide as DCCA. According to the heat treatment schedule, silica glass is prepared by heat-treatment up to 1050$^{circ}C$.
