The present study deals with the production of Silica Gel from Rice Husk Ash. Different mills of Bundi district of Rajasthan were visited to know about the production and utilization of Rice Husk and Rice Husk Ash produced. Rice Husk Ash from different sources was chemically treated and the extracted amounts of Silica Gel were compared. It was found that Rice Husk Ash contains 70.90 percent to 84.50 percent Silica Gel. This suggests that Rice Husk, which is considered as waste product from the Rice Mills and sold at Rs. 300 per quintal, can be used for production of value added product such as Silica which has its commercial sale value of Rs. 200 per Kg.
