Highlights We investigate the origin of a laminated organic-rich chert formed at the PC–C boundary. It consists of non-annual couplets composed of organic and siliceous sediment. The δ 30 Si isotopic values indicate a marine, non-biogenic silica source of the chert. Chert formed in 2-steps, first sub-sea salt dissolution triggered silica …
Silica extraction from bamboo leaves is a result of the necessity to manage large amounts of agricultural waste and to extract more value-added products from them. Silica is a principal component of granite, marble, sand, soil, and many other minerals. Silicate materials can be classified into two types: amorphous and crystalline.
Silica extraction with KOH solvent at a concentration of 2.5 M (S2K) was 4080.2 nm. Silica extracted from rice husk ash using NaOH concentration of 1 M (S1N) was 4177.1 nm, and silica extracted with NaOH concentration of 2.5 M (S2N) was 4061.5 nm. It can be seen that the increasing solvent concentration produce smaller particle size. …
