Chemistry is the experimental and theoretical study of materials on their properties at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels.In a patent， Formula: C12H28BrN, Which mentioned a new discovery about 1941-30-6
Rice husks (RHs) are agricultural wastes which include approximately 20 mass% of silica (SiO2). In Thailand, RHs have been applied as fuel for thermal power generation systems and a large amount of ash (Rice husk ash: RHA) was produced. In addition, our research group has reported before that binder-free consolidated zeolite A could be obtained by using SiO2 powder with geopolymer reaction as a humidity conditioning material because zeolite A has been used as desiccant and builder for detergent with low silica content. Moreover, other kind of zeolite with high amount of SiO2 content, such as ZSM-5, was under interest due to its good properties as catalytic activity and a unique pore structure. But, it was not widely utilized because of the difficulty of consolidated body preparation. Therefore, in the present study, the possibility of the usage of RHA as raw materials for consolidated zeolite A and ZSM-5 was investigated for the high-value application of RHA under specific heat treatment condition, molar ratio and preparation technique. After specimens were obtained, XRD analysis and SEM were charactarized for consolidated bodies to confirm cystalline phases and observe microstructure, respectively. Consolidated zeolite A was synthesized with heat treatment above 60C. The sample heat treated at 60C for 24 h consisted of homogeneous zeolite A particles with the size smaller than 1 mum. In addition, consolidated ZSM-5 was synthesized with an usual method as TPABr (Tetra propyl ammonium bromide) technique and research method as S.C. (seed crystal) technique. The results showed that although around 10 mum seed crystal was used, around 4~5 mum of ZSM-5 particles were obtained by S.C. technique. This result led to the possibility to use RHA with S.C. technique to synthesize consolidated body and control ZSM-5 particle size.
I hope this article can help some friends in scientific research. I am very proud of our efforts over the past few months and hope to 1941-30-6, help many people in the next few years.Formula: C12H28BrN
