Abstract
India is the agricultural dominated country where 75% if its population depends upon the agriculture for production of wheat,
groundnut, mustard, cotton Tea, Coffee, pulses, soya and Jute. According to the central organization of oil trade (COOTI), 89.5 lakh
ton mustard seed was produced during 2020-2021.The Mustard Husk residue easily available in the states which are producing
Mustard crop. The mustard seed cellulose after extracting the oil used as the cattle feed supplement which increase the milk extent.
The Mustard husk use as the industry fuel for heating the water in boilers for power generation. Agricultural wastes like mustard
husk, rice husk, Palm husk and fly husk have the excellent raw material for producing the silica (SiO2). Silica is the Major constituent
of Mustard husk ash(MHA) by which it is very become economical for producing silica from MHA. Here we are producing the silica
by Citric acid leaching process of mustard husk ash at optimum conditions 800 ˚C and 50 minutes of reaction time & concentration
of citric acid above 2%. The produce silica has more than 80-85% purity.
