Abstract

Nano silica has been prepared from rice husk, which is an agricultural waste, with high surface area and in amorphous form. 12-Tungstophosphoric acid, H3PW12O40 (PW) has been supported on this silica to produce nano silica supported PW (NPW/SiO2) as a nano catalyst. Characterization of this catalyst has been investigated by TEM, FTIR, and ICP, also, acidic properties have been studied by potentiometric titration method. 40% NPW/SiO2 ...
