Abstract: Rice husk is amongst the abundant agricultural wastes in rice-producing countries, such as Indonesia.
About 20% mass of the whole rice is rice husk. Furthermore, silica content in rice husk is quite high of about 20%.
Therefore, rice husk has a potential to be used as an alternative source of biosilica which could be further used
as adsorbent or catalyst support. In this research, 2 types of acids, i.e. HCl and H2SO4 were compared in terms of
their effectiveness during biosilica recovery from pulped rice husk. Rice husk was first pulped with 1 M NaOH at
elevated temperature to dissolve silica and then filtered. Precipitation of silica was induced by the addition of
acids until pH of 7 was reached. The mixture was aged for 72 hours prior to silica recovery. The results showed
that HCl treatment was more effective compared to H 2SO4 treatment. The silica obtained from was whiter in
color and has a higher purity based on SEM/ EDX analysis. Furthermore, the silica was proved to be amorphous
while the silica obtained from H2SO4 treatment showed the onset of crystalline silica. Additionally, the
concentration of silica in the particle obtained from HCl treatment was ~24% based on SEM/ EDX analysis, which
was almost double of that obtained from H2SO4 treatment. This process enabled biosilica recovery which has an
added value out of low cost rice husk wastes.
Keywords: HCl, H2SO4, precipitation, pulping, rice husk, silica.

1 Introduction
Rice is the main staple food in Indonesia and its demand has been continually increasing every year leading to
the increasing agricultural wastes such as rice husks during rice processing. Total rice production in the world in
2016 reached to about 745.5 million tons (FAO, 2016) and 79.141 million tons was produced in Indonesia (BPS,
2016). Rice husks were byproducts of paddy milling and accounts for about 12% of the total wastes which is still
underutilized. Rice husks have been usually used as planting media and animal beddings. Rice husks were usually
simply removed out by burning. In fact, rice husks contain many useful components such as 18% xylan, 22%
lignin, 38% cellulose, 20% amorphous silica, and 2% of other organics (Zhang et. al., 2014). Silica has been widely
used in many industries such as cement, concrete, ceramics, adsorbent, and catalyst supports (Liou and Jung-
Wu, 2011). Biosilica is defined as silica accumulated in living creatures, not harmful, and has an amorphous form,
thus it is quite useful for being used in food or medical applications. In contrast, silica found in the sands and
rocks is crystalline and could cause silicosis when accumulated in the lungs. Biosilica has potentials to be used as
emulsifiers for the oil-water systems from squalene, n-heptane, and paraffin oil (Linden, 2012). Biosilica could be
used in medical applications as well as drug delivery vehicle and materials for dental composites (Aguiar et. al.,
2017).
Lignocellulosic materials could have been used as raw materials for paper making. Lignocellulosic materials
derived from both wood and non-wood materials were used to be treated with basic solution in order to dissolve
lignin during the pulping process and alkaline black liquor was produced as a byproduct.
Minu et. al. (2012) investigated rice straws pulping as alternative raw materials for paper making. Rice straws
contain ashes of 15.5% which is rich in silica that could be further isolated to obtain pure amorphous silica. Minu
et. al. (2012) recovered silica out of black liquor by acid precipitation. The black liquor was produced from
extraction of acid leached silica ashes using basic solution. Precipitation of silica was carried out at pH 6-7 by the
addition of several acids such as H2SO4, HCl, H3PO4, and HNO3 of 2% concentrations. Silica was precipitated in the
form of silica gel after 24 hour aging process.

1
Majumder et. al. (2014) extracted silica from acid leached rice husk ashes using 1 N NaOH at 80 oC for 2 hours
under stirring. The solution was then titrated by HCl 2 M until pH 7 was reached. Precipitation of silica gels was
allowed to settle for 24 hours. The obtained silica gels were diluted with water and centrifuged at 6000 rpm for
15 minutes. Silica powder could be obtained after drying of silica gel in the oven at 80 oC for 12 hours followed
by cooling in the dessicator.
Ghorbani et. al. (2015) investigated the recovery of silica from rice husk using alkaline treatment followed by
acid precipitation. Rice husk was leached by 1 N of several acid solutions, such as H2SO4, HNO3, and HCl followed
by thermal treatment at 600oC in order to obtain silica ash. Silica ash was then subjected to alkaline extraction
using 0.5 M NaOH solution and heated at 100oC for 4 hours with stirring during the formation of sodium silicate
solution. Sulfuric acid solution of 10% was added until pH 7 to precipitate SiO 2. The mixture was then aged for
48 hours to complete the precipitation forming silica gel prior to drying in order to obtain silica powder.
Simanjuntak et. al. (2016) used liquid smoke as a substitute for nitric acid for extraction of amorphous silica from
rice husk through sol-gel route. Silica nanoparticles obtained using liquid smoke were much smaller within the
range of 194-680 nm in contrast with those obtained using nitric acid of which sizes were in the range of 1142-
3712 nm.
Non thermal method of silica extraction from rice husk using basic solution followed by acid precipitation
required less energy compared to the thermal method which was operated at high temperatures to burn the
organics. In addition, the non thermal method reduced air pollution thus considered to be environmentally
friendly process (Todkar et. al., 2016) and was able to produce silica with higher purity (Yuvakkumar et. al., 2014).
This research objective was to investigate the characteristics of biosilica directly recovered from pulped rice husk
by acid precipitation using HCl and H2SO4 solutions. H2SO4 is an oxidizing acid which requires a specific storage
area, though both H2SO4 and HCl acids are considered to be corrosive. The effectiveness of those acids was
compared in terms of yields and characteristics of the recovered biosilica.

2 Materials and Methods

2.1 Materials
Rice husks were derived from a paddy milling in Mojokerto, East Java, Indonesia; HCl 37% (Merck, Germany);
H2SO4 (Mallinckrodt, USA); NaOH flakes (Bratachem, Indonesia); demineralized water.
2.2 Silica extraction from rice husks
Silica in rice husks were extracted during the pulping process of rice husks by the addition of NaOH solution due
to its solubility in basic solution. Rice husks were previously leached by 5% citric acid prior to pulping process in
order to remove the inorganic impurities. Extraction process was carried out by adding 10 g rice husks in a beaker
glass containing 500 ml NaOH 1 M. The mixtures were heated until boiling for 2 hours in a hotplate (Mirak,
Germany) while being stirred with a magnetic stirrer at 600 rpm. The beaker was covered by aluminium foil
during heating to prevent the solvent loss due to evaporation. Silica was extracted from rice husk and form
sodium silicate with NaOH solution. The pulped rice husks were separated from the black liquor via filtration.
The filtrate containing sodium silicate was cooled down to room temperature prior to further treatment.
2.3 Silica precipitation using acids
The black liquor containing sodium silicate was treated by acids for the rice husk biosilica recovery. Sodium
silicate solution of about 200 ml was put in a beaker glass and slowly heated to 40oC and mixed at 400 rpm with
a magnetic stirrer. The temperature was held at 40oC during the dropwise addition of acid solutions (HCl 3% or
H2SO4 3%) until pH 7 measured by pH-Meter CG 85 (Schott, Germany) was reached. The temperature was
continuously held at 40oC while mixing for 90 minutes before cooling down to room temperature. The biosilica
would start to gel. The aging time was set at 72 hours to allow the complete precipitation of biosilica.
2.4 Recovery of rice husk biosilica
The precipitated silica gel was filtered using a buchner filter (Schott, Germany). Silica gel with brownish color was
rinsed using a demineralised water for several times to get rid of the impurities such as salts containing sulphates
(Ghorbani et. al., 2015). The silica gel color was getting transparent after rinsing. Afterwards, the silica gel was
dried in an oven (Memmert, Germany) at 150ºC for 24 hours to obtain biosilica. The dried biosilica was milled
and subjected to thermal treatment at 750ºC for 5 hours to remove the organic impurities of mainly lignin in the
furnace (Ney VULCAN D-550, Denstply Ceramco, USA). Biosilica powder was whiter in color after the thermal
treatment. The biosilica powder was cooled down to room temperature prior to further characterisation. The
mass of recovered biosilica powder was weighed in order to estimate the biosilica yield according to Equation 1.

2.5 Characterisation of biosilica

The recovered biosilica powders were characterised using several techniques such as FTIR (Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), and SEM/ EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy/ Energy Dispersive
X-Ray Spectroscopy). The functional groups of chemical constituents of the ashes were analysed using FTIR
(Shimadzu, Japan) at Chemistry Department, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November, Surabaya. Samples were
prepared using a KBr pellet at dry atmosphere at 25°C. Each spectrum was derived from an average of 32 scans
with a resolution of 64 cm-1 within the wavenumber range of 400–4000 cm–1. XRD (X’Pert Pro PACAnalytical,
Netherlands) measurement was conducted within 2θ = 5–70o at Energy Laboratory, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh
November, Surabaya in order to study the crystallinity of the biosilica powder. Finally, the morphology of biosilica
powder and the semi-quantitative Si content in the particles were determined using SEM/ EDX (Quantachrome,
USA) at Energy Laboratory, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November, Surabaya.

3 Results and discussion

Alkaline extraction of biosilica during the pulping process of rice husk took place according to reaction equation
(2) whereby silica reacted with sodium hydroxide forming sodium metasilicate (Todkar et. al., 2016). Biosilica
precipitation was then induced upon the addition of acid solution according to reaction equation (3). Silica
started to gel when pH < 8. However, lignin started to precipitate when pH < 5, thus optimum pH for silica
precipitation at pH 7 was maintained (Minu et. al., 2012)
SiO2(s) + 2NaOH(aq)→ Na2SiO3(aq) + H2O(l) (2)
Na2SiO3(aq) + 2 HCl(aq)→ SiO2(s)+ 2 NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) (3)
In this experiment, the black liquor derived from pulped rice husk was treated by 3% acids (HCl and H2SO4) until
pH 7 was reached to induced silica gel precipitation. The biosilica recovered using HCl has a whiter color
compared to that obtained using H2SO4 based on the observation during the experiments (Fig. 1). Furthermore,
the biosilica yields obtained using HCl and H2SO4 during the precipitation process were 6.821% and 7.206%,
respectively. The yield of biosilica derived from H2SO4 treatment was slightly higher due to the incorporation of
carbon impurities in the silica powder indicated by their grayish color.

Figure 1: Physical appearance of recovered biosilica from sodium silicate solutions treated by different acids. a)
HCl; b) H2SO4

The FTIR spectra of both biosilica precipitated by HCl and H2SO4 were depicted in Fig. 2. All spectra represented
fingerprints of pure amorphous silica indicated by several peaks found at ~ 1100, 800, and 460 cm-1. The biosilica
spectrum derived from HCl precipitation seemed to be very similar with that obtained from H2SO4 precipitation.
The trace of organic impurities presumably found in the biosilica obtained from H2SO4 precipitation was hardly
seen and could be evaluated using another method.

The XRD patterns of both biosilica recovered using HCl and H2SO4 were depicted in Fig. 3. In general, both showed
the patterns of amorphous silica which was the typical form of silica found in biological creatures. However,
those recovered using H2SO4 showed the onset of crystalline silica shown by a conspicuous small sharp peaks at
2θ ~22o attributed to cristobalite. Most probably, some inorganic impurities were also precipitated upon the

3
addition of H2SO4 producing some salts such as K2SO4 and Na2SO4 which could act as catalysts accelerating the
amorphous phase into crystalline phase of
biosilica during the combustion in the
furnace.

The SEM/ EDX images of biosilica recovered by HCl and H2SO4 could be seen in Fig. 4. The morphology of biosilica
particles appeared to be irregular with the highest Si concentration of ~24% was locally found in the particle
obtained from HCl precipitation as depicted in Table 1. The Si content in silica particle obtained from HCl
precipitation was almost doubled than that obtained from H 2SO4 precipitation. The carbon content in biosilica
particle obtained from H2SO4 treatment was quite high of ~34% which was not found in the biosilica obtained
from HCl treatment. These results implied that the amorphous biosilica derived from HCl treatment was higher
in purity and thus had better overall preferred characteristics.

4 Conclusions and recommendations

Amorphous biosilica particles were recovered from pulped rice husk by precipitation process induced by acids.
The black liquor containing sodium silicate solutions and soluble organics was further treated by 3% HCl and 3%
H2SO4 until pH 7 where silica gels started to form. The aging time of 72 hours was set to allow complete
precipitation of silica gels. Silica gels were filtered followed by thermally treatment to remove the accompanied
organic impurities in order to obtain biosilica powder. It turned out that the biosilica derived from HCl treatment
was whiter in color and demonstrated an amorphous silica fingerprint based on FTIR analysis confirmed by XRD
analysis. The onset of crystalline silica namely cristobalite supposed to be present on H2SO4 treated derived
biosilica due to a small peak found at 2θ ~22o. Biosilica produced from HCl treatment showed high purity
corroborated by a quite high local Si concentration of ~24% based on SEM/ EDX analysis. The biosilica
morphology appeared irregular and agglomerated. Process modifications were required in order to produce
nanoparticles silica with higher yield and purity supported with additional characterisation techniques.

Abstract: Rice husk is amongst the abundant agricultural wastes in rice-producing countries, such as
Indonesia. About 20% mass of the whole rice is rice husk. Furthermore, silica content in rice husk is
quite high of about 20%. Therefore, rice husk has a potential to be used as an alternative source of
Peer Reviewed biosilica which could be further used as adsorbent or catalyst support. In this research, 2 types of
acids, i.e. HCl and H2SO4 were compared in terms of their effectiveness during biosilica recovery

from pulped rice husk. Rice husk was first pulped with 1 M NaOH at elevated temperature to dissolve
silica and then filtered. Precipitation of silica was induced by the addition of acids until pH of 7 was
reached. The mixture was aged for 72 hours prior to silica recovery. The results showed that HCl

color and has a higher purity based on SEM/ EDX analysis. Furthermore, the silica was proved to be
amorphous while the silica obtained from H2SO4 treatment showed the onset of crystalline silica.
Additionally, the concentration of silica in the particle obtained from HCl treatment was tilde 24%
based on SEM/ EDX analysis, which was almost double of that obtained from H2SO4 treatment. This
process enabled biosilica recovery which has an added value out of low cost rice husk wastes.
