Although the production of sodium silicate is carried out on a large scale, it should be noted that its process requires temperatures above 1000 \u00b0C; it also requires the use of highly corrosive agents such as sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas to neutralize the remaining sodium hydroxide. In the present study, the synthesis temperatures were reduced to 800 \u00b0C with a reaction time of 3 h by pressing equimolar mixtures of previously purified SCBA and sodium carbonate; then, heat treatment was carried out under the indicated conditions. The resulting materials were analyzed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Among the crystalline phases, calcium disodium silicate was identified, in addition to sodium silicate; thus, it was inferred that the other components of the ash can interfere with the synthesis of silicate. Therefore, in order to obtain the highest composition of sodium silicate, a leaching treatment of the SCBA is required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16186327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,21]],"date-time":"2023-09-21T21:16:49Z","timestamp":1695331009000},"page":"6327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as an Alternative Source of Silicon Dioxide in Sodium Silicate Synthesis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4950-1100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas A.","family":"P\u00e9rez-Casas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Qu\u00edmicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7216-2557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio A.","family":"Zald\u00edvar-Cadena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda Civil, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6099-3946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anabel","family":"\u00c1lvarez-Mendez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Qu\u00edmicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Jacobo","family":"Ruiz-Vald\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Qu\u00edmicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4232-2297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salom\u00e9 M. de la","family":"Parra-Arciniega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Qu\u00edmicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David C.","family":"L\u00f3pez-P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda Civil, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Astrid I.","family":"S\u00e1nchez-V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias Qu\u00edmicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Avenida Universidad s\/n, San Nicol\u00e1s de los Garza 66455, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1016\/j.conbuildmat.2016.05.084","article-title":"Manufacturing of sustainable clay bricks: Utilization of waste sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ashes","volume":"120","author":"Kazmi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Constr.
