Synthesis and Characterization of Colloidal Nanosilica via an Ultrasound Assisted Route Based on Alkali Leaching of Silica Fume
Authors
Abstract:
Colloidal nanosilica is currently being produced by various methods which are mainly high energy intensive and/or not environmentally friendly. It is therefore essential to develop new energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. This paper introduces a new ultrasound assisted route based on alkali leaching of silica fume for synthesis of colloidal silica nanoparticles. The effects of sonication time on the particle size distribution of the colloidalnanosilica are studied via dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results show that the shape and size of nanoparticles are strongly depended on the ultrasonic time. DLS results show that average diameter of the produced colloidal nanosilicadecreases sharply from 337.10 nm to 93.27 nm during the first 5 minutes of sonication. Continued sonication up to 30 minutes, however, shows relatively slight decrease in average diameter of the colloidal nanosilica. Further, the produced colloidal nanosilica is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

The purpose of the present study was to synthesize and characterize nanosilica from alkali-extraction of silica fume under controlled conditions using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a dispersing agent. The dissolution efficiency of silica fume was affected by various factors such as concentration of the reagent, reaction time and temperature. A maximum dissolution efficiency of 91% was achieved ...

Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by an improved green chemical method using graphite flakes, KMnO4, a mixture of H2SO4/H3PO4, H2O2 and HCl. In several stages, ultrasound was used to separate the oxidized layers of GO. The use of ultrasound optimizes the effect of the reacting agents, decreasing the required amou...

Epoxy-based nanocomposites were fabricated with different content of colloidal silica nanoparticles such as 10.0, 20.0 and 30.0 wt %, through solution casting. The covalent bonding interfaces, resulting from a ring-opening reaction between silica nanoparticles and epoxy matrix were confirmed by the Fourier transform (FT-IR) infrared spectroscopy. These nanocomposites were characterized for ...
