Effect of concentration on extraction of silica from rice husk, rice husk ash and imperata cylindrica via acid leaching treatment / Noratiqah Syahirah Mohd Zarib

Rice Husk and Imperata cylindrical (Cl) are natural agriculture waste and abundantly waste that can be used as an effectively resources for production of silica (SiO2). Silica can be apply as an additive for the manufacture of plastics and rubber; as a strengthening filler for concrete and other...
