Silica gel was prepared by using alkaline extraction and acid neutralization method from ash obtained wheat straw, an agricultural waste. Microwave digestion, followed by calcination was used for obtaining ash. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies revealed the ash to be mostly amorphous silica.
