High amount of silica (SiO2) content, 99.36% was successfully prepared from Rice Husk Ash (RHA) through the burning of rice husk. Eventually, quaternary glasses were fabricated using melt quenching technique based on chemical compound composition xBi2O3 - (1-x)ZnO - 0.2B2O3 - 0.3(SiO2)RHA. The final...
