ABSTRACT: Rice is an agro-waste material produced from rice milling. Silica, a major inorganic constituent of rice husk, could be extracted via mild acid treatment with thermal combustion. Its nanometer structural form could be obtained via alkaline precipitation method. This study reports the synthesis of nanosilica from rice husk using acid treatment, 1.0 M HCI, with thermal combustion, 700 C within 4 hours, as pre-treatment and alkaline precipitation method, sulphuric acid as catalyst, to obtain it. Characterization analysis such as FTIR, XFR - EDS, XRD and SEM were used to confirm its chemical and physical nature. The synthesized nanosilica was found out to be containing 17.300 - 0.49% silicon content with high chlorine and sulphur impurities and 30-50 nm in particle size. Its amorphous form was not confirmed using XRD due to sodium chloride and sodium sulphate impurities. Oil water separation was carried out using a modified mesh containing a polyelectrolyte-fluorosurfactant/ nanosilica (PFC/NS) composite. The mesh was coated with the composite via a one-step dip coating method in a PFC /NS suspension. Water passes through the mesh quickly via gravity and oil remains on the top of the mesh. The efficiency was found out to be 92.5% for motor oil and 94.56% for cooking oil. Its recyclability was reported to be up to 20 separation processes. The contact angles confirmed the oleophobic-hyrophilic property of the mesh.
