1. The synthesis and characterization
of alkoxy silanes from silica based minerals and RHA and
RH.
2. The isolation of silica from rice husk using solution
extraction.
3. The adsorption studies of fatty acids on rice husk silica
and its modified variety.
4. Chemical modification of RHA silica for the adsorption
of carotenoid from crude palm oil.
5. The adsorption of carotene with RHA and the metal modified
RHA.
6. The catalytic activity of RHA and metal modified RHA.
7. The synthesis of organosilyl esters using triphenylsilanol
and amino acids
Some interesting topics currently being undertaken by my
students are:
1. The synthesis of silyl esters using triphenyl silanol
and amino acids.
2. The extraction of silica from rice husk (RH) and rice
husk ash (RHA).
3. The synthesis and characterization of RHA-M (M = Co(II),
Ni(II), V(V), Cr(III) etc.)
4. The catalytic activity of RH/RHA and RH/RHA-M (M = metal).
5. The evaluation and determination of the physical parameters
for the extraction of silica from rice husk.
6. Adsorption of fatty acids on rice husk ash silica chemically
modified with transition metals.
