A simple method to the preparation of SiO2microspheres from rice husks (RH) was developed. The rice husks were extracted with 2M NaOH solution to obtain a extract contained silica and lignin, and silica spheres were obtained after addition of distilled water, ethanol, 1M H2SO4and PEG (Wsilica:WPEG=2:1) to the extract in a controllable sol–gel process and calcination at 550°C. The optimum synthesis conditions were, adjustment of the extract to pH 3, a volume ratio of 1:1:2 of ethanol, water, and extract, respectively and a silica to polyethylene glycol weight ratio of 2:1. The SiO2microspheres produced under these conditions exhibited a relatively uniform particle size distribution around 500nm as determined by LPSA, which indicated a cooperative function of added PEG and extracted lignin towards the formation of SiO2microspheres.
