A method of producing a material including agglomerated particles of precipitated silica, including preparing a solution of at least two metal salts (Me), wherein the metal ions are divalent or polyvalent. A solution of alkali metal (M) silicate having a molar ratio SiO.sub.2/M.sub.2O of 1-4 is prepared. The solutions are mixed and the mixture stirred, allowing a coagulum to immediately form. The coagulum is rinsed, collected, dewatered, impregnated and processed to provide a material having a dry matter content of >75%, preferably >97%. A material obtainable by the process is also provided.
