METHOD FOR PREPARING NANO SILICA AND NANO CALCIUM CARBONATE USING RICE HULL ASH AND FLUE GAS

A method for preparing nano silica and nano calcium carbonate using rice hull ash and flue gas. The method includes: 1) adding rice hull ash to a sodium hydroxide solution, to yield a first mixed solution; stirring and heating the first mixed solution; then filtering the first mixed solution to yield a first filtrate; 2) adding the first filtrate to a reaction still, and diluting the first filtrate; adding polyethylene glycol as a dispersant to the reaction solution; introducing flue gas to the reaction solution; filtering the reaction mixture to yield a first filter cake and a second filtrate; washing the first filter cake to a neural pH, slurrying and drying the first filter cake to yield nano silica; and 3) mixing the second filtrate and a washing solution collected from 2); adding a calcium hydroxide solution to the reaction still, to yield nano calcium carbonate.
