Climate change and rising sea levels increasingly threaten agriculture, especially in the
coastal regions. Banana cultivars, especially the Cavendish clones, are sensitive to salinity …

We report a method to synthesize silica nanoparticles from bentonite clay. A series of
thermal and acid treatment processes was performed on bentonite clay to lower the alumina …

Nanosilica (NS) powders were synthesized from sodium silicate solution (SSS) and their
effects on ceramics engobes were investigated. Synthesized NS powder was subjected to …

Herein we report the observation of room-temperature phosphorescence from carbon dots
(CDs) embedded in a silica gel matrix. The precursors used in the synthesis (malonic acid …

In this work amorphous silica was synthesized using sodium silicate and hydrochloric acid
by precipitation according to St? ber method. A system of chemical reactions has been …

The effect of nano-silicon (NSi) at concentrations of 1.5 and 3mM in controlling the chocolate
spot disease of Vicia faba L. was investigated. Botrytis fabae the causal of chocolate spot …

There has been great recent interest in the potential use of Nanoparticles as modifiers or
alternatives to surfactants for stabilizing emulsions, among which silica NPs have been …

Porous silica was synthesized via the sol-gel process using clay obtained locally from Ijero-
Ekiti in Ekiti State, Nigeria and compared with silica synthesized under similar conditions …

Nanoparticle stabilized emulsions have gained recent attention as mobility control agents in
EOR processes. Some recent studies have shown in-situ formation of nanoparticle stabilized …

In this work, the use of sodium silicate derived from South African coal fly ash (CFA) in oil
well cement (OWC) applications is reported. Silica (SiO 2) was extracted from the CFA and …
