Precipitated Silica: Production and Uses by mastmona is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Precipitated silica is a form of silicon dioxide produced by precipitating sodium silicate solutions with sulfuric acid. It is mainly used in tires and shoe soles, with over 1 million tons produced annually as of 1999. The production process involves reacting sodium silicate with sulfuric acid to form silica precipitate, which is then filtered, washed, dried, and milled. Precipitated silica has a broad pore structure compared to silica gel and is used as a filler, thickening agent, and performance enhancer
