EFFECTS OF MICROTEXTURAL INTERACTIONS OF ORGANICS AND SILICA ON SILICA DIAGENESIS
Opaline silica (opal-A) is thermodynamically unstable at surface conditions and readily transitions into opal-CT and at higher temperatures and pressures, quartz. Past work has used the temperature dependency of this phase transition for paleothermometry in opal-bearing sedimentary rocks. Those …

Characterization of amorphous silica and crystalline silica from rice husk ash on water filtration application
… at low-cost production and using an effectively silica from natural waste rice husk was evaluated. Rice husk was fired at 700ºC and 1000ºC respectively and produced rice husk ash which mutated to amorphous and crystalline silica. Five samples were fabricated after been mixed with the compositions …

Geothermal energy : silica precipitation and utilization
Silica precipitation experiments have been ongoing at the Reykjanes geothermal power plant, Iceland, since 2011. Silica samples were obtained from the field and thoroughly investigated to estimate the silica’s potential as a marketable product. Targeted applications were studied in detail and the …

Spectroscopy of thulium doped silica glass
… gain; this thereby involves, to some degree, a silica based host material. To date, optical amplification in the telecommunication S-band using thulium-doped silica fibres has been inefficient due to the high phonon energy associated with Si-O bonds in the glass. This work undertakes a …
