Recovery and purification of silica

A process for preparing silica comprising: (a) acidifying a basic aqueous solution containing silicate ions and molybdate ions to produce silicomolybodic acid; (b) adding to the acidified solution an organic base to precipitate a silicomolybdate; and, (c) heating the resulting precipitate to drive o...

Zusammenfassung:A process for preparing silica comprising: (a) acidifying a basic aqueous solution containing silicate ions and molybdate ions to produce silicomolybodic acid; (b) adding to the acidified solution an organic base to precipitate a silicomolybdate; and, (c) heating the resulting precipitate to drive off volatile components and leave a purified form of silica is disclosed. The process is particularly useful for producing purified silica from dilute aqueous media.
