In Advantage of using rice husk as raw material for precipitated silica are superior and cost effective compared to present technology of producing Silica from quartz. Starts from a raw material of little or no cost and value, which otherwise would cause environmental pollution. Processis energy efficient and also consumes much lower energy compared to an alternative process involving fusion of selected quality of sand.

Rice husk or paddy husk - an agricultural residue is available abundantly in rice producing countries. India alone produces approximately 12 million tons of rice husk annually. Rice husk is generally not advocated as cattle feed because of low cellulose and other sugar contents in it. Furfural and rice bran oil are extracted from rice husk. Rice husk is used by industries as fuel in boilers and for power generation. Rick husk has a high ash content varying from 18-20%. Silica is the major constituent of rice husk ash. High silica (SiO2) content in rice husk ash is economically feasible to extract silica, which has wide market.
Rice is the seed of the monocot plants Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza glaberrima (African rice). It is normally grown as an annual plant, although in tropical areas it can survive as a perennial and can produce aratoon crop for up to 30 years. Since a large portion of maize crops are grown for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by the human species. The rice plant can grow to 1–1.8 m (3.3–5.9 ft) tall, occasionally more depending on the variety and soil fertility. It has long, slender leaves 50–100 cm (20–39 in) long and 2–2.5 cm (0.79–0.98 in) broad. The small wind-pollinated flowers are produced in a branched arching to pendulous inflorescence 30–50 cm (12–20 in) long. The edible seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) long and 2–3 mm (0.079–0.12 in) thick. Rice is the staple food of over half the world's population. It is the predominant dietary energy source for 17 countries in Asia and the Pacific, 9 countries in North and South America and 8 countries in Africa. Rice provides 20% of the world’s dietary energy supply, while wheat supplies 19% and maize 5%.

Rice Husk

Rice husks are the hard protecting covering of grains of rice. Rice hulls are the coating for the seeds, or grains, of the rice plant. To protect the seed during the growing season, the hull forms from hard materials, including opaline silica and lignin.

One practice, started in the seventeenth century, to separate the rice from hulls, it to put the whole rice into a pan and throw it into the air while the wind blows. The hulls are blown away while the rice fell back into the pan. This happens because the hull isn't nearly as dense as the rice. These steps are known as winnowing. Later pestles and a simple machine called a rice pounder were developed to remove hulls. In 1885 the modern rice hulling machine was invented in Brazil. During the milling processes, the hulls are removed from the raw grain to reveal whole brown rice, which may then sometimes be milled further to remove the bran layer, resulting in white rice. Rice husk is a by-product of the rice milling industry. It is a unique crop residue with uniform size and high content of ash (14–25%). The silica content of the rice husk ash (RHA) can be as high as 90–98% . This husk can be used as a fertilizer in agriculture or as an additive for cement and concrete fabrication. Due to its high silicon content, rice husk has become a source for preparation of elementary silicon and a number of silicon compounds especially silica silicon carbide and silicon nitride . India is a major producer of rice and finding ways to put the husk to use is imminent. The high silica content in the rice husk ash has attracted interest in discovering ways to use it commercially. Although silica occurs as a component of cells or cell walls in virtually all arial parts of the rice plant, it is most abundant in the husk. Owing to their small diameter, many technological applications, such as thermal insulators, composite fillers, etc., use ultrafine silica powders .We have investigated the possibility of producing high purity silicon from rice husk by purifying the rice husk silica followed by pelletizing and reduction in a modified electric arc furnace. The pelletizing was carried using carbon black as a reductant and sucrose as a binder.

Sand  is  the  general  term for  broken  down  granules  of minerals  or rocks, technically between about one-sixteenth of  a millimeter  to two millimeters in diameter, falling between  silt and gravel in the spectrum of sizes. There are many varieties  of sand  in  the world, each with their own unique  composition  and qualities.   The   white  sandy  beaches   of   iconic   tropical destinations,  for  example, are made up primarily  of  limestone that  has  been broken down, while many black  sands  are  either volcanic  in origin or contain magnetite. Other sands  have  high levels of iron in them, and so are rich and yellow in color.

Fused  silica  should apply to any foam  of  vitreous  silica manufactured by fusion, however it has been used by some to denote all vitreous silica  not  produced  by quartz fusion and by other for only the translucent vitreous silica.

Method  for the manufacture of translucent fused silica by fusion of sand surrounding a graphite rod  through which a current is passed and subsequent manipulation of the hot plastic material were patented around the turn of century.

The post Precipitated Silica appeared first on EIRI - eBooks and Project Reports.

Silica - The most common occurrence of silica (qv) is in the form Of quartz. Other forms which are found in nature are Tridymite, cristobalite, vitreous silica, cryptocrystalline forms (usually as pebbles in chalk), hydrated silica, and diatomite. The principal sources of silica used in the ceramic industry are The sandstones, quartzites, and sands. Quartzites, often called Ganister, are firmly consolidated sandstones, whereas sandstones Are rather lightly bonded quartz grains or sands. Silica is the Primary ingredient in glass and is usually obtained from high Purity sandstones or quartzites by crushing and grinding, or From high-grade sand deposits. The term glass sand may refer to A deposit of sand or, more commonly it is used to refer to The sand after it has been beneficiated from sandstones, Quartzites, or natural sands. Flint or potter's flint in the Strictest usage refers to flint pebbles usually occurring in Calcareous or chalk deposits. It is a microcrystalline form of Silica with a small amount of combined water. More generally, Flint is used to designate either the true flint or quartz.
