Abstract

This paper presents the results of nanosilica preparation by wet chemical synthesis, and evaluates the effect of ce- tyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant concentration on the structure of the as-synthesised nanosilica by chemical-physical characterisation methods such as XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, and BET. The research process has selected a sample of nanosilica with 5% concentration of CTAB, pH at 9.5, reaction time of 1 hour and temperature at 550OC. The sample shows a high adsorbability (having a large surface area with SBET = 158.862m2/g, and a low bulk density of 0,2312 g/cm3). The results of evaluation of the parameters of Bach Ho crude oil adsorption process show that at the temperature of 30OC, 1 gram of nanosilica is capable of adsorbing 9.27grams of crude oil in 1 hour.
