Sodium silicate from rice husk ash (RHA) was transformed to functionalized silica with 3‐(mercaptopropyl)‐trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) or 3‐(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) via a simple sol‐gel technique in a one‐pot synthesis to give RHAPrSH and RHAPrNH 2 . The 29 Si MAS NMR of RHAPrSH and RHAPrNH 2 showed the presence of T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , Q 2 , Q 3 and Q 4 silicon centers. The 13 C MAS NMR showed that RHAPrSH had chemical shifts at δ 16.59, 32.73, consistent with two of the carbon atoms of the MPTMS moiety, while the 13 C MAS NMR of RHAPrNH 2 had chemical shifts at δ 14.58, 26.13, 47.87, consistent with the three carbon atoms of the APTES moiety. The presence of carbon, silicon, sulfur and nitrogen in RHAPrSH and RHAPrNH 2 was determined by a combination of elemental analysis and EDX study.
