Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance of MCM-41 and SBA-15 from bottom ash of TG bin power plant / Nurul Barakah Ab Rahman

Coal electric generator produced huge amount of waste which can be categorized into bottom and fly ash. In this research, bottom ash was chose instead of fly ash because very limited research was reported. Bottom ash known to have high percentage of silica has been utilized to produce mesoporous whi...

In this research, bottom ash was chose instead of fly ash because very limited research was reported. Bottom ash known to have high percentage of silica has been utilized to produce mesoporous which are MCM-41 and SBA-15.
