Rice husk ash silica as a potential drug carrier

Rice husk is a by-product from rice mills that are often regarded as an agricultural waste and practically has no commercial value. However, rice husk ash (RHA) obtained from the calcination of rice husk at elevated temperature offers a greener, safer and cheaper source of silica precursor. Currentl...

The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy did not detect the presence of any organic moieties that are not related to silica which indicated the RHA-silica obtained is a pure silica.
