Effect of Mmolarity of HCl on production of Silica (SiO2) from Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA)

Palm oil fuels ash (POFA) is a by-product from palm oil industries that constitutes of different compounds such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and many others, its abundances and improper disposal in waterways and as a landfill cause environmental pollution and hence need for its modification and...
