Template-free inorganic synthesis of silica-based nanotubes and their self-assembly to mesocrystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A novel synthesis approach for silica-based nanotubes (NTs) was discovered in the purely inorganic system containing the molecular compounds OP(NH2)3, SP(NH2)3 and SiCl4 in evacuated and sealed silica glass ampoules.

Micropillar Testing of Amorphous Silica [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Glass Science, 2012
Amorphous silica exhibits a complex mechanical response. The elastic regime is highly nonlinear while plastic flow does not conserve volume, resulting in densification. As a result the quantification of a reliable constitutive equation is a difficult task.

Ice sheets as a missing source of silica to the polar oceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ice sheets play a more important role in the global silicon cycle than previously appreciated. Input of dissolved and amorphous particulate silica into natural waters stimulates the growth of diatoms.

Effect of amorphous silica by rice husk ash on physical properties and microstructures of recycled aluminium chip AA7075 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
High strength to weight ratio of aluminium reinforced as metal matrix composites is a well known material used in automotive application. The effects of recycled aluminium chips AA7075 with amorphous silica by rice husk ash on the physical properties and

The Nanostructures Of Amorphous Silicas

open access: yesMicroscopy and Microanalysis, 2000
Abstract Silicon dioxide is an important catalyst material, a mainstay insulator in microelectronics, and a widely distributed terrestrial and marine skeletal mineral. Geologically, it is found in one of a large number of polymorphic crystalline states, but can also be rendered “amorphous” by rapid cooling from the melt through a glass ...

Elementary plastic events in amorphous silica [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2019
Plastic instabilities in amorphous materials are often studied using idealized models of binary mixtures that do not capture accurately molecular interactions and bonding present in real glasses. Here we study atomic scale plastic instabilities in a three dimensional molecular dynamics model of silica glass under quasi-static shear.

Experimental evaluation of rice husk ash for applications in geopolymer mortars

open access: yesJournal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, 2021
Rice husks obtained from upland and lowland rice varieties were characterized for composition and content of ash. Each of the rice husk varieties was fired at temperatures of 600, 800 and 900 °C for a soaking period of 3 h.

Vibrations in amorphous silica [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 2016
Abstract In this paper, we describe the vibrational properties of a realistic 648-atom model of SiO 2 ([1] Tafen and Drabold, 2005). The normal modes of the model are computed with the ab initio density functional code SIESTA ([2] Soler et al., 2002).

The Synthesis and Characterization of Low-cost Mesoporous Silica SiO2 from Local Pumice Rock

open access: yesNanomaterials and Nanotechnology, 2015
Pumice is a porous volcanic rock containing a significant proportion of silica and alumina, and which has a low iron content. This natural, silica-rich material attracts wide attention because of its applications in adsorption process‐ es, heterogeneous ...

Amorphous silica waste from a geothermal central as an adsorption agent of heavy metal ions for the regeneration of industrial pre-treated wastewater

open access: yesWater Resources and Industry, 2018
An industrial wastewater regeneration treatment was successfully designed taking advantage of the amorphous silica adsorption properties, generated as an industrial waste in a geothermal power plant located in the city of Mexicali, Baja California.
