Abstract

Rice straw is a waste product from rice manufacturing that contains cellulose (32–47%), hemicellulose (19-27%), lignin (5–24%), and ash (13–20%). The ash form consists of a large percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with widespread use in the industrial field. The extraction of silicon dioxide has been conducted using the sol-gel and ashing method combined with the leaching process using an acid solution such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) at a concentration of 3%. In using HCl with a concentration of 3%, impurities are often found in the SiO₂ sample. Therefore, this study uses the leaching method with HCl of several variations (3%, 5%, and 7%). By raising the concentration of HCl in this process, the quality of SiO₂ without impurities is increased. The results indicate that increasing the concentration of HCl can significantly lower the sample’s impurity content. In the 3% treatment, impurities were found in the form of Carbon and Calcium. The treatment obtained no impurities using 5% and 7% HCl concentrations. As a result, the highest purity of SiO₂ obtained was 89.31% in the 5% HCl treatment. The sample treated with 5% HCl was in the semiconductor region and exhibited an amorphous structure.
