Synthesis, characterization and sorption properties of microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 from rice husk ash

A new class of nano-sized microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 has been prepared through hydrothermal synthesis route in the absence of ETS-4 and organic template agent. Local agriculture waste – rice husk ash (RHA) has been used as the silica source and commercial titanium oxide namely P25 as titani...
