Precipitated Silica Market Size will reach to 2.9 billion USD in 2024

     Precipitated silica is an amorphous silica. It is a white, powdery inorganic material. It is produced by sodium silicate and sulfuric acid/hydrochloric acid. The industrial process of precipitated silica includes four steps:

1. Precipitation: Sodium silicate solution and sulfuric acid/hydrochloric acid are reacted in an agitated vessel to produce a slurry of amorphous silica particles.
2. Washing: The slurry is then concentrated to form a filter cake. Then the filter cake is washed to remove the byproduct that is produced during precipitation.
3. Spray Drying: The filter cake is spray dried to reduce moisture content.
4. Finishing & Packaging: The dried precipitated silica will be further processed according to the desired demand. Then the final product is packaged for shipment in small bags, big bags, or bulk trucks or railcars.
