The synthesis of mesoporous silica as a delivery agent for the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate has been carried out. The study aims to determine the process of mesoporous silica synthesis from sodium silicate from the smelting of rice husk ash, determine the adsorption capacity of mesoporous silica in the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate and the pH responsive release of ethyl para-methoxycinnamate with mesoporous silica as a delivery agent in simulated intestinal and gastric fluids. It was found that mesoporous silica can be synthesized from rice husk ash with a 30% tartaric acid template. Characterization of mesoporous silica using FTIR spectroscopy showed the presence of silanol (Si-OH) and siloxane (Si-O-Si) functional groups. Mesoporous silica from rice husk ash is able as adsorbent for the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate with the adsorption capacity of 8.26 mg/g. The release test of gastric simulation fluid (pH 1.2) showed that the ethyl-para-methoxycinnamate was released from silica for a period of 12 hours. In the intestinal simulation fluid (pH 7.4), the release of the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate occurred slowly at the first hour, then gradually increased at 5 hour up to 12 hour.

A study has been conducted on the synthesis of mesoporous silica as introductory material pinostrobin anticancer compounds. The aim of this study was to synthesis paramagnetic mesoporous silica from rice husk ash waste; knowing the characteristics of silica gel and mesoporous silica from rice husk and the value of adsorption capacity (Q). Based on the results of the study, it was found that mesoporous silica can be synthesized from the rice husk ash waste. Characterization using FTIR produces silanol (Si-OH), and siloxan (Si-O-Si). The use of 30% w/w tartaric acid as a template doesn’t change the functional groups of silica. The optimum conditions of adsorption of pinostrobin compounds by mesoporous silica at the adsorption capacity of 7.049 mg/g. In simulated intestinal fluids (pH 7.4),pinostrobin is released slowly at every hour, then slightly increases at the 10th hour and continues to increase again slowly so that the pinostrobin compound is completely released at 12 hours.

The objective of the study is developing a procedure for production and characterization of rice husk ash (RHA). The effects of rice husk (RH) amount, burning/cooling conditions combined with stirring on producing of RHA with amorphous silica, highest SiO2, lowest loss on ignition (LOI), uniform particle shape distribution and nano structured size have been studied. It is concluded that the best amount is 20 g RH in 125 ml evaporating dish Porcelain with burning for 2 h at temperature 700 °C combined with cooling three times during burning to produce RHA with amorphous silica, SiO2 90.78% and LOI 1.73%. On the other hand, cooling and stirring times affect the variation of nano structured size and particle shape distribution. However, no crystalline phases were found in RHA in all cases. Results proved that the Attritor ball mill was more suitable than vibration disk mill for pulverizing nano structured RHA with 50% of particle size (D50) lower than 45 mm and 99 % of particle size (D99) lower than 144 mm to nanosized RHA with D50 lower than 36 nm and D99 lower than 57 nm by grinding time 8.16 min to every 1 g RHA without changes in morphousity of silica.

Photocatalytic composite materials incorporating the photocatalysts (TiO2, ZnO) with rice husk ash (RHA) have been developed to investigate the photodegradation of real textile dye effluent. The structural characterization of the composite materials was performed using XRD (X-Ray Diffractometer). The characteristic XRD peaks together with the 2? values for both TiO2 and ZnO were in excellent agreement with the standard JCPDS d-values. The efficacy of these composites was examined through the degradation of a textile dye, collected from a local dye house. The sun light was used as the source of illumination for the preceding degradation reaction. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 47(4), 445-448, 2012 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v47i4.14075

Great areas of Brazil present lateritic soils, such as the northeast and the south. Some of these soils have, as main characteristic, instable structures that can present considerable volumetric deformation in the presence of water. This behavior, also named collapse, is responsible for several problems on the building construction such as cracks and fractures that can damage the safety of structures. The aim of this paper is to assess the possibility of improvement of collapsible behavior of a lateritic soil using rice husk ash (RHA). A previous characterization of soil and RHA was performed in order to assess the combined effect of soil/RHA. The results are so promising, showing a new alternative to reduce the collapsible behavior of soils using an environmental friendly technology.
