Rice hull or rice husk (RH) is an agricultural waste obtained from milling rice grains. Since RH has no commercial value and is difficult to use in agriculture, its volume is often reduced through open field burning which is an environmental hazard. In this study, amorphous nanosilica from Philippine waste RH was prepared via acid precipitation method. The synthesized samples were fully characterized for its microstructural properties. X-ray diffraction pattern reveals that the structure of the prepared sample is amorphous in nature while Fourier transform infrared spectrum showed the different vibration bands of the synthesized sample. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size analysis (PSA) confirmed the presence of agglomerated silica particles. On the other hand, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed an amorphous sample with grain sizes of about 5 to 20 nanometer range and has about 95 % purity according to EDS analyses. The elemental mapping also suggests that leaching of rice hull ash effectively removed the metallic impurity such as potassium element in the material. Hence, amorphous nanosilica was successfully prepared via a low-cost acid precipitation method from Philippine waste rice hull.

Silica gel is well known as a material that may be used as adsorbent, host matrix for catalyst, etc. Hence, synthesis of silica gel from rice hull ash has been done by evaluation of the effect of medium acidity and organic group immobilized in the snythesis of silica gel.Synthesis of silica gel was done by adding sodium silicate solution from rice hull ash to hydrochloric acid until pH 3, 5 and 7. Immobilization of thiol group and amino group in silica was done by adding 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane or 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane to sodium silicate solution and hydrochloride acid solution until pH: 7. The products were characterized by X-ray deffractometer and FTIR Spectroscopy.Results showed that porousitas of silica increased with increasing medium acidity ( decreasing pH medium).Immobilization thiol or amino group in silica added a functional group on silica but did not destroy primary structure of silica gel.Key Words: Silica Gel, Rice Hull Ash, 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane.

Geopolymer spheres made from metakaolin and rice hull ash have exceptional chemical and mechanical stability, making them promising catalyst support matrix for photoactive compounds. In this paper, titania was deposited on geopolymer sphere via horizontal vapor phase growth method, which produced nanotitania crystals embedded on the surface. The titania-coated geopolymer spheres resulted in 90% dye photodegradation activity that can be used repeatedly, thus qualifying the products as sustainable materials for wastewater treatment.
