In hard template method, why sodium hydroxide is used to remove colloidal silica for synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbon
Because silica dissolves in a concentrated alkali solution.
Thank you
As mentioned by Aleksandr, silica, or SiO2, reacts with NaOH to give soluble silicates products such as Na2SiO3.
for drought management
