Abstract: Rice husk has attracted considerable attention in the recent years due to its chemical component that are beneficial to a wide range of application. . In this paper, silica aerogel from rice husk ash (RHA) was prepared through sol-gel processing and ambient pressure drying. The silica RHA was extracted with sodium hydroxide solution to produce sodium silicate solution and neutralized with sulphuric acid to form silica gel. Then, the silica aerogel was further modified with amine, which is 3-(aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) because amine groups provide specific adsorption sides for CO2 adsorption. The functional group, surface morphology and elemental composition of rice husk, silica aerogel and modified silica aerogel were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and Elemental analyser (EA). For amine modified silica aerogel, it was found that the sample consists of N-H band at a certain peak. FTIR and SEM analysis revealed the synthesized silica aerogel has fibrous morphology and indicates similar trend with previous researches. The amine modified silica aerogel (AMSA) is able to adsorb 0.88 mol CO2/kg AMSA. This study shows that the rice husk silica aerogel modified with APTES could enhance the CO2 adsorption performance due to the physisorption and chemisorption

Desorption Method

Low density silica aerogel beads were synthesized from rice husk ash via sodium silicate route. The gel beads were prepared by the ball dropping method and dried at ambient pressure after surface modification (silylation) with trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) solution. The characteristics of porous structure of silica aerogel beads were measured by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption and desorption method. The silica aerogel beads showed a specific surface area as high as 773 m2/g. They also displayed water-repellant effect (hydrophobic) due to silylation as revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Sol Gel Transition

A robust silica–polyimide (PI) aerogel blanket is designed and synthesized using the PI foam as the matrix and silica aerogel as the filler through an in situ method, where sol–gel transition of silica precursor occurs in pores of the PI foam, followed by the hydrophobization and ambient pressure drying. The density of the aerogel blanket ranges from 0.036 to 0.196 g/cm3, and the low density is directly controlled by tailoring the silica concentration. The specific surface area of the aerogel blanket reaches 728 m2/g. These features of the blanket result in a low thermal conductivity of 0.018 W/mK, which shows a remarkable reduction of 59% compared to that of the PI foam (0.044 W/mK). As a result, a remarkable decrease of 138°C is achieved using the silica blanket as the thermal insulator on a hot plate of approximately 250°C. In addition, the temperature degradation of the blanket is around 500°C, and up to 86% of mass remaining at 900°C is obtained. The blanket is resistant at extremely harsh conditions, e.g., 600°C for 30 min and 1,300°C for 1 min, and no open flame is observed, suggesting a significant flame-retardant of the blanket. Owing to the three-dimensional (3D) porous framework of the PI foam, the silica aerogel is encapsulated in the PI foam and the blanket exhibits strong mechanical property. The silica–PI aerogel can be reversibly compressed for 50 cycles without reduction of strain. The contact angle of the blanket is 153°, which shows a superior waterproof property. Combining with the low density, low thermal conductivity, flame-retardant, and strong mechanical strength, the aerogel blanket has the potential as an artificial island, which is safe (waterproof and flame-retardant), lightweight, comfortable, and easy to be moved.
