Precipitated silica, also known as silica gel, is a fine, white, porous, non-crystalline form of silica produced by artificial means. It is synthetically manufactured by neutralizing a soluble silicate with an acid resulting in the formation of a gel-like precipitate. The precipitate is washed to remove salt and then dehydrated to produce a high-purity amorphous form of silica. Properties and Uses of Precipitated Silica Precipitated silica has several important properties that make it use...

Precipitated silica is a versatile form of silicon dioxide that is produced by the precipitation of silicic acid from a solution of sodium silicate. This process results in a finely divided, amorphous form of silica that exhibits unique properties such as high surface area, particle size control, and excellent dispersibility. These properties make precipitated silica suitable for a wide range of applications across industries. Applications in Rubber Industry One of the primary applications...
