The present work entitled "Precipitated Silica and Activated Carbon from Rice Husk" was taken up to study the optimum operating conditions at laboratory scale. Precipitation of Silica was carried out using various parameters such as pre-treatment or acid washing, carbonization temperature of acid washed rice husk, activating agent such as sodium hydroxide, time of carbonization, time of heating with activating agent. The activated carbon was obtained from rice husk ash at various concentration of activating agent (Sodium Hydroxide) and different activation temperature. These studies indicate that nano-silica powder can be produced by optimizing the parameters used in the study. Without optimization, one would get different grades of silica with different yields. Similarly, different grades of activated carbon can be obtained by varying the parameters of activating agent, carbonizing temperature after activation and time of carbonization. The article presents a procedure to produce nano-silica powder from rice husk along with wastewater treatment grade of activated carbon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
