Auto-Continuous Synthesis of Robust and Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Microspheres from Low-Cost Aqueous Sodium Silicate for Fast Dynamic Organics Removal
An efficient auto-continuous globing process was developed with a self-built apparatus to synthesize pure silica aerogel microspheres (PSAMs) using sodium silicate as a precursor and water as a solvent. A hydrophobic silica aerogel microsphere (HSAM) was obtained by methyl grafting. A reinforced sil...
