The first type, MagPrep silica coated magnetic particles (Merck), are commonly used for solid phase extraction of nucleic acids. 36 However the silica surface of these particles is likely optimized for nucleic acid extraction and may not consist of pure silica, or may consist of silica in a certain structural form. Therefore, as second type we ...
The unreacted silicon monoxide oxidizes in the atmosphere to form silicon dioxide, commonly called "silica fumes," which are filtered. The primary disadvantage of this process is the high energy consumption resulting from the use of fossil fuels, which also cause heavy pollution (Simcoa Operations Pty Ltd. 2017 ).

Silica extraction with KOH solvent at a concentration of 2.5 M (S2K) was 4080.2 nm. Silica extracted from rice husk ash using NaOH concentration of 1 M (S1N) was 4177.1 nm, and silica extracted with NaOH concentration of 2.5 M (S2N) was 4061.5 nm. It can be seen that the increasing solvent concentration produce smaller particle size.
