- Purpose: This work aims to study the water vapor adsorption property of fine silica particles from semi-burned rice husk ash. The semi-burned rice husk ash is selected as the raw material since it contains high silica and is easily found as a by-product of pottery furnace combustion. Design/methodology/approach: The silica adsorbent from semi-burned rice husk ash was prepared through a sol-gel method using various NaOH concentrations. In doing so, the different pH precipitation was also observed. Here, the fine silica powder was obtained by pulverizing dry sol-gel. The product characterizations were conducted based on water adsorption capacity at different air relative humidity. Findings: The results show no significant effects of different treatments in the extraction and gelation process. The fine silica particles exhibit large porous surfaces with agglomerated nano-sized particles that formed pores. This porous structure is related to the distributions of pore size of each sample, which mostly obey the mesoporous characteristics. From sorption isotherm, weak adsorbent-adsorbate bonding was observed and demonstrated multilayer adsorption of mesoporous materials. Research limitations/implications: The study of water adsorption was carried out at room temperature, which can change at any time, even though has no significant effect on the humidity. However, it is needed to study the adsorption in an incubated area to receive a constant temperature. Practical implications: The products namely silica prepared from semi-burned rice husk ash show a high moisture uptake, especially at a high relative humidity region. This property can be comparable with the other silica preparation methods. So, this product can be a highly potential adsorbent for air or gas dehumidification systems. Originality/value: The silica-based semi-burned rice husk ash as a water adsorbent is more sustainable than commercial silica. This is a positive contribution to find a potentially develop water vapor adsorbent with good adsorption capacity. Besides, the synthesis process is a simple and low-cost process.
