Abstract

This research report on the effect of hydrothermal treatment temperature on morphology of obtained calcium silicate from Vietnam Rice Husk Ash (VRHA). VRHA is collected at the Mekong Delta River, burn to obtain the active silica which can be used for further step. The obtained silica is hydrothermal treated in the present of Ca-source so that the Ca/Si molar ratio of 1.0 for different treatment temperature such as 110, 130, 150 and 180oC. XRD and SEM of samples before and after hydrothermal treatment confirm the present of nano-Calcium Silicate Hydrate (CSH) such as Tobermorite and Xonotlite. These CSH can be used as inorganic light weight thermal insulator application. The obtained calcium silicate after hydrothermal treatment at high temperature have leave-like crystal, and these crystal interlock together.
