Abstract:In this study, further processing of silica precipitated from sodium silicate was carried out using an ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonication process was carried out with the aim to obtain smaller particles and uniform distribution of silica precipitated. The ultrasonication process was carried out using three solvents medium in water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol. The effect of solvents used on the distribution and particle size of silica precipitated was observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
