| Popis: | In this research, sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) was prepared by rice husk ash reacted with 10 M sodium hydroxide. The mixtures were heated by microwave at 400, 600, and 800 watt for 5 and 10 minutes. The formation of sodium silicate was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. The vibrations of (Na)O–Si–O(Na) and O–Si–O were observed at 595 and 1023-986 cm-1, respectively, except at 800 watt disappeared those vibrations. The results of flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer provided the mole ratio of sodium and silicon was 2:1 as heating the product at 600 watt for 5 and 10 minutes. The phase of sodium silicate was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Sodium silicate could be used as catalyst as in biodiesel production from palm oil. The percentage of yield was 81 by volume. |
