Abstract:
Rice straw and maize stalk are major residues of agriculture field. These residues were utilized to synthesis nano-biosilica by sol-gel route. The structural properties of rice straw ash, maize stalks ash and biosilica were characterized by X-ray diffraction and FTIR. Morphology evaluation by SEM confirms the formation of nano-biosilica of spherical shape.
