Amorphous Silica – Structure, Synthesis, and Industrial Significance

Amorphous silica, a non-crystalline form of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), is produced via thermal decomposition of silicates (fumed silica) or precipitation from sodium silicate solutions (precipitated silica). Its porous structure and tunable surface chemistry enable applications in catalysis, drug delivery, and chromatography. Unlike crystalline silica (e.g., quartz), amorphous silica lacks long-range order, reducing health risks associated with inhalation. Regulatory approvals (e.g., FDA for food use) highlight its safety in consumer products.
