Abstract

The flaring out of silica nanoparticles from agricultural wastes had distorted the classical barriers in its synthesis process. Silica-rich effluvia like rice husk, corn cob, sugarcane bagasse, palm ash, coconut fiber, bamboo leaves, and tapioca were conceded as frugal precursors to invoke silica nanoparticles. The layout, appearance, porosity, and size of SNPs can all be changed by tailoring the processing constants during synthesis. In order to determine whether leftovers from agriculture may be used as a source of silica precursors, these properties and the SNPs’ relevant uses are being studied. Adsorption incorporating agricultural and alimentary wastes, when modified with acidic, alkaline, and other chemical solvents, has shown a higher absorption rate than the usual approach because of the presence of functional groups. This retrospective rehashes the extraction of silica from assorted agricultural wastes like rice husk, bamboo, and sugarcane bagasse in the first part, and their pragmatic role in different applications is discussed in the second part. Finally, issues that need to be resolved were addressed for future research.
