Silica sols which have a large alkali excess, i.e. a low molar ratio SiO.sub.2 to M.sub.2 O, and which contain silica particles with a high specific surface area. The silica sols can be prepared through acidification of a water glass solution and subsequent alkalization of the acid sol to the molar ratio in question. The sols are particularly suitable for use as additives, in combination with cationic polymers, in papermaking. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1. A process for producing paper, comprising the steps of forming a suspension of cellulose-containing fibers, adding to the suspension a cationic polymer and an anionic silica sol, forming a layer of paper from the suspension and dewatering the paper on a wire, wherein the silica sol has a molar ratio SiO to M. sub. 2 O of from 6:1 to 12:1, M being an alkali metal ion or an ammonium ion, and wherein the sol contains silica particles having a specific surface area within the range of from 700 to 1200 m. sup. 2 /g. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the sol has a molar ratio SiO. sub. 2 to M. sub. 2 O within the range of from 7:1 to 10:1. 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the cationic polymer is cationic starch or cationic polyacrylamide. 4. A process according to claim 2, wherein the cationic polymer is cationic starch or cationic polyacrylamide. 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein the cationic polymer comprises cationic starch and a cationic synthetic polymer. 6. A process according to claim 2, wherein the cationic polymer comprises cationic starch and a cationic synthetic polymer. 7. A process according to claim 5, wherein the cationic synthetic polymer is cationic polyacrylamide. 8. A process according to claim 6, wherein the cationic synthetic polymer is cationic polyacrylamide. 9. A process according to claim 1, wherein the sol is added in an amount of at least 0. 01 kg/ton, calculated as SiO. sub. 2 on dry fibers and optional fillers. 10. A process according to claim 2, wherein the sol is added in an amount of at least 0. 01 kg/ton, calculated as SiO. sub. 2 on dry fibers and optional fillers. 11. A process according to claim 9, wherein the sol is added in an amount of from 0. 05 to 5 kg/ton, calculated as SiO. sub. 2 on dry fibers and optional fillers. 12. A process according to claim 10, wherein the sol is added in an amount of from 0. 05 to 5 kg/ton, calculated as SiO. sub. 2 on dry fibers and optional fillers. 13. A process according to claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of cationic polymer to sol, calculated as SiO
