Abstract
The management and disposal of agro-wastes are the major environmental problems nowa-days and presence of substantial quantity of silica in agro-wastes made them possible to convert waste into valuable fertilizer materials. The present study aimed to extract silica from various agro-wastes such as paddy straw (PS), sugarcane bagasse (SB), maize cobs (MC) and coconut husk (CH) by exposing to various calcination temperatures (500o C, 600o C and 700o C) and characterized through XRF, FESEM-EDAX, TEM, FT-IR, XR-D and other basic properties. The recovery of silica from paddy straw calcined at 700o C was higher than that of other temperatures and sources tested.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
