dc.description.abstractRecycling of agricultural wastes has attracted researchers to reduce their indiscriminate and unguided disposal that pose environmental challenges. The amount of several products from such recycling are proportional to the amount of volatile matter, carbon and ash contents. In order to investigate the potential of obtaining quantifiable amount of silica from three agricultural wastes (cassava periderm, maize stalk and sugarcane bagasse), their proximate and physicochemical characteristics were investigated. SEM, EDS, XRD and TGA analysis were carried out to comprehend their characteristics. Cassava periderm and maize stalk have higher ash content relative to sugarcane bagasse. The amount of free silica obtained from their XRD also revealed greater potential of yielding more silica than sugarcane. Sugarcane bagasse gave more volatile matter while cassava periderm has more carbon. It is therefore feasible to extract silica from all the wastes but with low yield from sugarcane.en_US
