A novel synthesis of a nanometric MCM-41 from biogenic silica obtained from rice husk is here presented. CTABr and Pluronic F127 surfactants were employed as templating agents to promote the formation of a long-range ordered 2D-hexagonal structure with cylindrical pores and to limit the particle growth at the nanoscale level thus resulting in a material with uniform particle size of 20-30 nm. The physico-chemical properties of this sample (RH-nanoMCM) were investigated through a multi-technique approach, including PXRD, Si MAS NMR, TEM, -potential and N physisorption analysis at 77 K. The results were compared to those of a nanometric MCM-41 synthesized from a silicon alkoxide precursor. The adsorption capacity of RH-nanoMCM towards the cationic dye rhodamine B from aqueous phase was investigated at different initial dye concentrations by means of UV-vis spectroscopy. Insight into the non-covalent interactions between the dye molecules and the adsorbent surface was gained by means of H and C MAS NMR spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy.

To expand the applications of hydrophobic silica aerogels derived from rice husk ash (HSA) through simple traditional methods (without adding special materials or processes), this paper employs machine learning to establish mathematical models to identify optimal conditions for extracting water glass and investigates how preparation conditions and heat treatment temperatures affect properties such as the porosity and hydrophobicity of HSA. The results indicate that the decision tree regression model provides the most accurate predictions for the extraction rate and modulus of water glass. Notably, the water contact angle of HSA produced using nitric acid as a catalyst can reach as high as 159.
