“…Most of the content of quartz sand is silica (SiO 2 ), which is 55.30-99.87 wt% (Munasir et al, 2015). Silica is widely used in various applications such as for mixed materials in concrete (Said et al, 2012;Heikal et al, 2013); tire industry, rubber nanocomposites (Chen et al, 2008), emulsion wall-paint (Mizutani et al, 2006), lotions and cosmetics, ingredient cosmetic efficacy (Fruijtier-Pölloth, 2012), ceramics (Said et al, 2012;Heikal, 2013;ObrtlĂk et al, 2017), heavy metal absorbent material of Cd +2 and Pb +2 (Saad Al-Farhan, 2016), Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 core-shell (Karimi et al, 2016), wrapper drugs (BarbĂ© et al, 2004;Kwon et al, 2013), packaging, and anti-bacterial agents (Wang et al, 2007;Luo et al, 2015). Silica NPs can also be applied for developing renewable energy, such as for material for ion-lithium batteries, electrodes (Favors et al, 2014), electrolytes (He et al, 2005;Park et al, 2007), and separators (Fu et al, 2012).…”
