Synthesis of Silica Aerogel from Rice Husk Modified Trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) as an Adsorbent for Methylene Blue
This study investigated the synthesis and silylation of biomass-derived silica aerogels from rice husk ash for methylene blue (MB) adsorption under ambient-pressure drying (APD). Surface modification was conducted using trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) in an ethanol/n-hexane co-solvent system to prevent capillary-induced p...
