dc.description.abstractThe aimof this study is to identify an acid precursor that ismost desirable for the synthesis of sodiumsilicate-based silver-doped silica for large-scale industrial production. The final products were developed based on the presence of silver (silver-doped silica) or the absence of silver (pure silica). The properties of the obtained final products were examined using the BET method. This method involves characterization based on N2 physisorption studies to determine the surface area, pore diameter, and pore volume. Various graphs were plotted using the obtained data to describe the pore size distribution, isotherms, and the properties of hysteresis loops. Silver-doped silica with a BET surface area of up to 357 m2/g and a pore size of 5.4 nm was obtained using the most desirable precursors—sodium silicate and sulfuric acid. This is an unprecedented step toward synthesis of silver-doped silica fromdesirable precursors. This approach to the synthesis of silica with desirable propertieswithout involving sacrificial templates (surfactants) will be convenient for many applications and suitable for large-scale economic industrial production.en_US
