Abstract :
In order to develop the waste material recycling process, the nanosilica was prepared from environment agro waste. Bagasse and Rice straw were used to synthesize the nanosilica by precipitation method. Characterization were carried out through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), X-Ray Diffraction(XRD) analysis for treated Bagasse, Rice straw and Nanosilica .The agro waste acts an alternative source for nanosilica.
