There is increasing interest in synthesis of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles from agricultural biomass waste because the process is cost-efficient and eco-friendly. However, the application of rice straw SiO2 nanoparticles as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agents have not been examined in detail....
