Successful extraction of high purity SiO₂ (about 99%) from rice husk (waste) was achieved in this work using the cold acid leaching method. Glass series [(TeO₂)0.₇ (B₂O₃)0.₃]1-x (SiO₂)x were fabricated using the rice husk silicate (RHS) by melt-quenching method. The samples were subjected to X-ray d...
