Abstract:

Silica was isolated by pyrolysis and chemical treatment with NaOH from rice husk. Thus obtained silica was calcinated at different temperatures under different atmospheres. Highest surface area was recorded for the sample calcinated at 600oC under nitrogen atmosphere. This sample was labelled as RHSiO2. To increase basic sites on RHSiO2, amine impregnation was done by using MEA, DEA and PEI. On all these samples characterization studies like surface area, Pore size distribution, XRD, FT-IR, SEM were carried out. Infrared spectra of the silica is recorded by FT-IR spectrometer and the major chemical groups of silica are identified. The textural features of the amorphous silica observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which clearly shows that amorphous silica has porous and multifaceted particle shape and size. CO2 adsorption capacities are increased with increase in wt. % of amines like MEA, DEA and PEI. However 25 wt.% PEI shows more adsorption capacities at high pressures, as it contains more number of basic or nitrogen containing groups on the surface matrix.
