PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Precipitated Silica is composed of aggregates of ultimate particles of colloidal size that have not become linked in massive gel network during the preparation process. Precipitated silica prepared by the action of acid on a solution of soluble silicate is of fine controlled particle size & porous in nature. Precipitated silica powders have a more open structure with higher volume than dried pulverized gels. Amorphous silica is precipitated from super saturated solution obtained by concentrating an under saturated solution a hot saturated solution or generating Si(OH)4 of silica ester SiH4, SiS2, SiCl4 or Si. It was reported in 1640 that amorphous silica in the presence of excess alkali become a liquid & that subsequent neutralization of the liquid with acid caused precipitation of silica.
The physical & chemical properties or precipitated silica vary according to the manufacturing process. Ultimate & aggregate particle size in silica’s precipitated from solution can be varied by reinforcement & control of suspension pH., temperature & salt content. The particle size in gynogenic silica’s is controlled by combustion conditions. The surface area as determined by nitrogen adsorption, is a function of particle size.
Precipitated silica is used as filler for paper & rubber as a carrier & diluents for agricultural chemicals, as an ant caking agent, to control viscosity & thickness and as molecular sieve. The distinguishing feature of the growth of precipitated silica industry in India is that it has classifiably flourished in the small-scale sector. Readily available new materials low capital investment & high rates of return offer a distinct advantage to the small-scale manufacturers to venture into this field.
So, we can better understand the growing demand of precipitated silica with the growth of end user industries.
