Sintesis Silika Gel Menggunakan Pasir Pantai Bengkalis Sebagai Sumber Silika

ABSTRACT Silica gel is one of the silica-based materials that has quite extensive uses such as in the pharmaceutical industry, ceramics, paints and special applications in the chemical field. This study aims to synthesize silica gel from Bengkalis Beach sand by varying the concentration of HCl during gel formation. Silica gel is synthesized through several stages starting with the leaching pro…
