Ground silica sand is produced in a similar manner, except that pulverizing is included. Ground silica can easily be distinguished under the microscope because it has irregular grains. Grinding considerably increases the surface area into the range from 1000 to 5000 cm 2 /g, with an average particle size in a range from 16 to 4 μm.

Although silica prepared from grinding had similar amorphized structure with kaolin residue, the SiO 2 content and the BET surface areas were different. The breakage of Al OH and Si O Al linkages favored the Al 3 + leaching procedure, which resulted in increased SiO 2 content and improved the porous properties of silica.

In this work nanoparticle silica was synthesized using silica sand and quartzite by top down approach using ultrafine grinding. Silica sand was obtained from Bangka island while quartzite rocks from Rokan Hulu, Riau. Both samples have good SiO2 value about 98% and increase up to 99.7% after leached with sulfuric acid in room temperature.
