The goal of this work was to utilize rice husk silica (RHS) and porous materials synthesized with RHS, including mesoporous material (MCM-41) and microporous materials (zeolite NaY and NaBEA), for adsorption of herbicide paraquat. The adsorption occurred although cation exchange and the capacity decreased in the following order: NaY > NaBEA > MCM-41 > RHS, consistent with the amount of Al. The adsorption on all adsorbents fitted well with the Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity of 185.2 mg/g-adsorbent was obtained on NaY. In addition, blue dye in commercial grade paraquat did not interfere with paraquat adsorption. Although MCM-41 was the most efficient adsorbent for the blue dye, RHS was favorable in terms of production cost. A mixture of NaY and RHS is recommended for simultaneous adsorption of paraquat and blue dye.

The disposal of textile waste in water bodies is exacerbating environmental problems, which led scientists to seek natural materials to develop more sustainable ways. Searching for low cost materials was used to remove the dye in two cellulosic sources (filter papers of different brands). The papers were characterized by XRD which confirmed crystallographic profile similar to cellulose. With the aim of optimizing the best conditions, various tests were performed, where the ideal time was 180 minutes for the paper 1 and 240 minutes for the second paper, both by adjusting the pseudo second-order model. The other parameters studied was the pH, adsorbate-adsorbent systems which have maximum adsorption capacity of 2.76 mg / g at pH 2.02 and 2 mg / g at pH 11 for the paper 1 and 10.57 mg / g pH 4 and 2 mg / g at pH 11 for the paper 2. Both adsorbents had the best fit to the Langmuir model in pHs 2 and 11 at the temperature of 298 K.

The raw rice husk (RRH) was used as a low cost adsorbent to remove three oil compounds with different viscosities (crude oil, engine oil and spent engine oil) from an aqueous environment. Some of the sorbent specifications were characterized using a CHNSO analyzer, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. With decreasing RRH particles size, the oil adsorption percentage was reduced for crude, spent and engine oils from 50 to 30%, 65 to 20% and 70 to 0.01%, respectively. This was probably due to damage of the microcavities. The removal percentage by sorbent at optimized conditions was 88, 80 and 55% for engine, spent and crude oils, respectively, corresponding to their descending viscosity. The adsorption of crude and spent oils on rice husk followed the Freundlich isotherm model, while the adsorption of engine oil was fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax), calculated from the Langmuir model for the adsorption of engine oil on RRH, was 1,250 mg/g.

The research about synthesis and characterization of MCM-41 from rice husk has been done. Silica (SiO2) was extracted from rice husk by refluxing with 3M hydrochloric solution at 80 °C for 3 h. The acid-leached rice husk was filtered, washed, dried and calcined at 650 °C for 6 h lead the rough powder of rice husk silica with light brown in color. Characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FTIR spectroscopy method. Rice husk silica was dissolved into the sodium hydroxide solution leading to the solution of sodium silicate, and used as silica source for the synthesis of MCM-41. MCM-41 was synthesized by hydrothermal process to the mixture prepared from 29 g of distilled water, 8.67 g of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB), 9.31 g of sodium silicate solution, and amount mL of 1 M H2SO4. Hydrothermal process was carried out at 100 °C in a teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave heated in the oven for 36 h. The solid phase was filtered, then washed with deionised water, and dried in the oven at 100 °C for 2 h. The surfactant CTMAB was removed by calcination at 550 °C for 10 h with heating rate 2 °C/min. The as-synthesized and calcined crystals were characterized by using FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and N2 physisorption methods. In order to investigate the effect of silica source, the same procedure was carried out by using pure sodium silicate as silica source. It was concluded that silica extracted from rice husk can be used as raw materials in the synthesis of MCM-41, there is no significant difference in crystallinity and pore properties when was compared to material produced from commercial sodium silicate.
