Fly ash is the ash residue from coal combustion. The silica in fly ash can be used to improve the compressive strength of concrete. High-quality nanosilica can be produced through the synthesis process from fly ash waste. The materials used in this study include fly ash, HCl solution, NaOH, aquadest, and Kangen water. Variations in HCl molarity (1 M, 1.5 M, and 2 M) were applied to determine th…
Fly ash is a coal combustion byproduct rich in silica and alumina, was synthesized using the hydrothermal method with drying temperatures of 100°C, 110°C, and 125°C to assess its impact on crystal structure, elemental composition, and morphology. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that crystallinity increased with temperature, with sharper diffraction peaks at 125°C. Scanning Electron …
Fly ash is a by-product of coal combustion that contains silica and has the potential to be utilized as a raw material for nanosilica. This study aims to synthesize nanosilica from fly ash using the hydrothermal method with variations in soaking temperatures of 70°C, 75°C, and 80°C. The synthesis process includes pretreatment with HCl and NaOH solutions, immersion in an ultrasonic cleaner, a…
