English abstract Silica was extracted from rice hulls by three processing routes, starting with acid treatment followed by burning and milling. The amorphous white silica powder showed a surface area of 260 to 480 m2/g, purity above 99% and average particle size of 2.0 to 0.6 mm. This silica is suitable for the preparation of mullite whiskers employing the rare earth aluminosilicate glass technique. Due to its highly pozzolanic reaction, this prepared silica is used as an additive in high performance concrete
