Abstract
Sekam padi merupakan limbah pertanian yang kaya akan kandungan silika (±20%) dan berpotensi sebagai sumber material fungsional bernilai tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi pH terhadap struktur kristalin dan gugus fungsional serbuk silika hasil sintesis dari sekam padi menggunakan metode sol-gel. Variasi pH (6,0; 6,5; 7,0; 7,5; dan 8,0) diterapkan dalam tahap preparasi untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas perlakuan kimia dalam menghilangkan pengotor serta mengendalikan pembentukan fasa silika. Sampel yang diperoleh kemudian dikalsinasi pada temperatur 900°C untuk menghasilkan silika kristal, dan selanjutnya dikarakterisasi menggunakan beberapa metode, yaitu FTIR, Raman, DTA/TG, dan XRD. Hasil XRD sebelum kalsinasi menunjukkan pola amorf dengan puncak lebar pada 20–40°, namun intensitas meningkat pada pH 7 dan 8, menandakan keteraturan lokal yang lebih baik. Setelah kalsinasi, terbentuk fase kristobalit dan tridimit, dengan ukuran kristalit terbesar pada pH 7 (46 nm). Analisis FTIR memperlihatkan penguatan pita Si–O–Si pada pH tinggi, sejalan dengan hasil Raman yang menunjukkan intensitas vibrasi silika lebih kuat. Data DTA/TG menunjukkan bahwa sampel pada pH 7 dan 8 mengalami kehilangan massa lebih rendah dibandingkan pH rendah, mengindikasikan kemurnian dan stabilitas termal yang lebih baik. Secara keseluruhan, pH 7 meupakan kondisi paling optimum di antara variasi pH lainnya untuk menghasilkan silika berkualitas tinggi dari sekam padi.

Rice husk is an agricultural waste rich in silica (±20%) and has the potential to serve as a valuable functional material. This study aims to investigate the effect of pH variation on the crystalline structure and functional groups of silica powder synthesized from rice husk using the sol–gel method. pH variations (6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0) were applied during the preparation stage to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical treatment in removing impurities and controlling silica phase formation. The resulting samples were calcined at 900°C to produce crystalline silica and subsequently characterized using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, DTA/TG, and XRD. The pre-calcination XRD patterns exhibited amorphous characteristics with a broad peak at 20–40°, while increased intensity at pH 7 and pH 8 indicated improved local structural ordering. After calcination, cristobalite and tridymite phases were formed, with the largest crystallite size obtained at pH 7 (46 nm). FTIR analysis showed strengthened Si–O–Si absorption bands at higher pH, consistent with Raman spectra that revealed more pronounced silica vibrational modes. DTA/TG results demonstrated that samples prepared at pH 7 and pH 8 experienced lower mass loss compared to those prepared at lower pH, indicating better purity and thermal stability. Overall, pH 7 was identified as the most optimal condition among the pH variations tested for producing high-quality silica from rice husk.
