Pure silica particles have been successfully synthesized from rice husk ash (RHA) by precipitation method. The characterization of silica was performed by X–ray diffraction, X–ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area, and transmission electron microscopy. The characterization results show that the obtained amorphous silica was 99.8 % purity with average particle size of 5–10 nm, and high specific surface area of 224 m2/g. Additionally, for the first time that RHA–silica was successfully applied as an anti–caking agent for a NPK–fertilizer. A suitable content of silica was evaluated through the level of anti–caking. The testing results show that with only 1.5 wt% of RHA–silica particles could replace kaolin as an anti–caking agent for the NPK–fertilizer.

Faujasite and analcime were synthesized by two-step process via hydrothermal method using the rice husk ash and metakaolin as starting materials. In the first step, the raw materials were prepared using the SiO2/Al2O3molar ratio of 4 and pretreatment with NaOH solution under various stirring conditions. The suspension was subjected to hydrothermal treatment at various reacting time and temperature in second step. The mineralogy, morphology, specific surface area and cation exchange capacity of the synthesized products were investigated using X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, N2adsorption and desorption isotherm and ammonium acetate method, respectively. Faujasite was obtained using low temperature and short-time synthesis, while the analcime was obtained at high temperature and long-time synthesis. The stirring time did not affect zeolite types but the specific surface area. The cation exchange capacity of the synthetic faujasite and analcime were 263-280 and 280-302 meq/100 g, respectively.

Rice husk ash (RHA) contains high amount of amorphous silica that is ubiquitous in the pozzolanic reaction of SCM in concrete. However, usage of conventional RHA is currently unfavourable in concrete industry due to its properties inconsistency. In this regard, improvement on the RHA properties by introduction of thermochemical pre-treatment prior to burning procedure is seen as an excellent way to reach the goal. In this paper, raw rice husk was pre-treated using 0.1N hydrochloric acid (HCl) and heated at 80oC. It was then mechanically activated by high energy planetary ball mill for 15 minutes at speed of 300rpmand ball-to-powder ratio (BPR) of 15:1. The chemical composition, mineralogical properties, particle size analysis, specific surface area as well as microstructure properties of ultrafine treated rice husk ash (UFTRHA) were determined accordingly. As for amorphous silica content of the optimum sample was recorded as 98.60% incinerated at 600oC with four hours of pre-treatment soaking duration. In terms of particle size and specific surface, it was also observed that, burning temperature of 600oC, pre-treated at four hours were recorded to produce finest size of UFTRHA where d(0.1), d(0.5) and d(0.9) were obtained as 1.416?m, 4.364 ?m and 14.043 ?m respectively. Largest specific surface area value was obtained at 219.58 m2/g with the similar pre-treatment conditions. Meanwhile, the strength activity of UFTRHA from the optimum pre-treatment process was measured by testing the compressive strength of mortars. The highest compression value obtained was 50.17MPa with 3% UFTRHA replacement at 28 days.

Silica gel is the chemical substance that has many good advantages such as absorbed moisture, porosity, small diameter, high surface area, and lightweight. It was synthesized by using rice husk ash via sol – gel heating in the microwave technique. The objectives in this work compose of synthesis silica gel by using the microwave technique before characterizatization. This raw material was archived from rice husk ash, obtained from agricultural waste. The silica gel, synthesized by conventional method (CVM) and commercial silica gel (COM), was also studied for comparison purposes. The results showed that successfully synthesized the silica gel by sol - gel technique using microwave. The XRD pattern of silica gel enhanced from this method was not sinificantly different as compared with CVM and COM methods. And the physical properties of this technique could be debated. The particle size of silca gel was determined by zetasizer and it was approxmately 50-70 nm. The pore size diameter, pore volume, and specific surface area of silica gel were calculated by Flowsorb II and a Quantachrome Autosorp-1. The pore size diameter, pore volume, and specific surface area of silica gel are 10-30 nm, 0.7-1.0 cm3/g, and 400-700 m2/g, respectively. Consequently, this work is considered to be the waste to make useful, and a great way to save energy and time in the silica gel synthesis.

Zeolite A

Rice husk (RH) is a biomass resource that contains about 20 mass% silica. In Southeast Asia countries, RH is used as fuel for thermal power plants, and it produces a large amount of ash (Rice Husk Ash: RHA), as industrial waste. Furthermore, our research group has reported that consolidated zeolite A could be prepared from RHA as a raw material. Zeolite A has hydrophilic micropore in the structure and is used for adsorption and a builder for detergent. From processing point of view, the remaining carbon must be removed before synthesizing of zeolite A. However, the utility of carbon in RHA has not been studied sufficiently. In the present study, therefore, the possibility of usage of both silica and carbon in RHA as a raw material was investigated for the high value-added application of RHA. Before the synthesis of zeolite, activation treatment of carbon was carried out for RHA under specific conditions to make the carbon become porous. The specific surface area was measured by BET for activated RHA. Additionally, hydrothermal treatments were attempted after adjusting the composition of raw materials for the preparation of composites of carbon and zeolite. For the obtained specimens, XRD analysis and SEM were conducted as characterizations to confirm crystalline phases and microstructures respectively. Activation treatment made the specific surface area of RHA larger. As the activation time and temperature increased, silica was crystallized to cristobalite and the reactivity was decreased. The crystalline phase of zeolite A was recognized in the specimens with an appropriate composition. Furthermore, the homogenous zeolite A particles with a size smaller than 1 μm were also observed. Therefore, activated carbon-zeolite composites could be synthesized from RHA.

In order to prepare carbon nanotubes with high specific surface area, small diameter, low resistivity, high purity and high catalytic activity, the Fe-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared based on the microreactor. The influence of different Fe/Al molar ratios on the catalyst and the carbon nanotubes prepared was studied through BET, SEM, TEM and other detection methods. Studies have shown that the pore structure of the catalyst is dominated by slit pores at a lower Fe/Al molar ratio. The catalytic activity is the highest when the Fe/Al molar ratio is 1:1, reaching 74.1%. When the Fe/Al molar ratio is 1:2, the catalyst has a higher specific surface area, the maximum pore size is 8.63 nm, and the four-probe resistivity and ash content of the corresponding carbon nanotubes are the lowest. The higher the proportion of aluminum, the higher the specific surface area of the catalyst and the carbon nanotubes, and the finer the diameter of the carbon nanotubes, which gradually tends to relax. The results show that when the Fe/Al molar ratio is 1:2, although the catalytic activity of the catalyst is not the highest, the carbon nanotubes prepared have the best performance.

In this paper, we report on synthesizing xonotlite, calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), via a hydrothermal reaction using rice husk from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The rice husks were burnt at 1000 °C for 3 h. Grey rice husk ash was collected, then mixed with Ca(OH)2 at a Ca/Si molar ratio of 1 : 1. This was followed by a hydrothermal reaction at 180 °C for 24 h and 48 h to obtain the xonotlite mineral. Before and after adsorption, 3-mm xonotlite pellets were thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy. This material has potential application in chromium(III) removal during a chrome-plating process. The adsorption efficiency of the 3-mm pellet samples reached more than 76 % after 12 h.
