Synthesis and characterisation of gel-derived mullite precursors from rice husk silica

The sol-gel synthesis and characterization of mullite precursor derived from rice husk silica and aluminum nitrate hydrate [(Al(NO3)3·9H2O] has been investigated. The samples were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) coupled with Rietveld analys...
