摘要
Amorphous anhydrous silica SiO2 (mw) (99.99%) is successfully synthesized through microwave irradiation technique and time of reaction is reduced up to 1 h. The dehydration phase study of Si-water, Si-OH, Si-O-Si networking, elemental analysis and surface morphology was carried out by FTIR, FTNIR, SEM and EDAX spectroscopic techniques. The broad absorption stretching and bending of Si-OH and H2O at 3695.38-2832.96 cm(-1), 1638 cm(-1) and 1191.20-1017.14 cm(-1) completely disappeared and appearance of new bands at 946.93 and 797.63 cm(-1) confirmed the amorphous anhydrous silica with Si-O-Si networking. The SEM images of SiO2 ((mwc)) described the smooth and fine particle texture and confirmed 99.99% Si-O-Si networking of anhydrous silica. The 99.99% purity was verified by EDAX spectra which exhibited sharp signals only for oxygen and silicon. Toxicity against Monomorium minimum and Tribolium castaneum with 100% mortality and LT(50)91 min and 7.5 h respectively is being reported. It can be used for long storage of grains in the future.
