Double AcidBase Extraction of Silicic Acid from Quartz Sand
an efficient extraction technique for orthosilicic acid (OS 4 SiO 4) from a BangkaBelitung quartz sand by employing acidbase dissolution method. A 325mesh size quartz sand was boiled in HCl solution at various concentrations. The optimum concentration was then used in the following experiment at several different volumes of solution.
