Characterization of Silica Produced from Rice Husk Ash ...
Silica with approximate purity of % with three washing cycles, 6h acid leaching, 6 leaching cycles with HCl 3% at 90ºC, and the main contaminant was Ca (100 ppm). Table 1 also makes it clear that numerous approaches have been developed to produce high purity amorphous silica with large surface area using rice husk or RHA.
