Chromium was incorporated into the silica matrix extracted from rice husk in basic, neutral and acidic medium. The prepared catalysts were labeled as RHCr-10, RHCr-7 and RHCr-3 according to their pH. The specific surface area of RHCr-10, RHCr-7 and RHCr-3 was determined to be 144, 143 and 564 m2 g−1...
