A Simple Method for the Production of Pure Crystalline Silica from Lemon Grass

A Simple Method for the Production of Pure Crystalline Silica from Lemon Grass

Lemon grass is an inexpensive raw material that can be used to produce natural silica. A method using hydrochloric acid (HCl) leaching followed by thermal combustion at 600 °C was developed to produce purified silica from lemon grass. Acid leaching temperatures of 33, 50, 80, and 110 °C were used. T...
