Biogenic Silica Extracted from Salacca Leaves Ash for The Adsorption of Salycilic Acid

Abstract

Extraction of biogenic silica from Salacca leaves ash and it’s utilization as adsorbent for salycilic acid has been successfully conducted. The caustic extraction by Refluxing the ash in NaOH followed by slow titration using acid produced the silica gel, and in order to evaluate the physicochemical character for adsorption purpose, the sintering of the dried gel was varied at 300, 400 and 500oC. Instrumental analysis of x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, gas sorption analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were employed. The kinetics of the salycilic acid adsorption was investigated in a batch adsorption system and the quantitative analysis was based on UV–Vis spectrometry. The results showed that the produced silica exhibited adsorption capability for salycilic acid in an aqueous solution. At varied sintering temperature, the highest adsorption capacity and affinity was achieved by temperature of 500oC, and the adsorption kinetics obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The varied pH for adsorption suggested neutral pH is the most feasible compared to the acidic and basic conditions.

“…Natural materials that can be used to obtain silica is rice husk, with a SiO 2 content of up to 80%. Some inorganic compounds contained in rice husks are potassium, sodium, calcium in small amounts and also silica in higher amounts (Fatimah et al, 2021) . Silica extraction methods, namely thermal and non-thermal methods.…”

“…In addition to its consumption as a fresh and processed food, snake fruit has enormous potential for use in therapeutics, cosmetics, renewable energy production as well as in heavy metal remediation.Then Is, Fatimah et al, [2] researching the potential of Biogenic Silica Extracted from Salacca Leaf Ash successfully extracted biogenic silica samples and showed these to be effective adsorbents for salicylic acid from an aqueous solution. The increasing specific surface area and the increasing temperature were reected by the varying sintering temperatures, which affected the increasing adsorption capacity.…”
