Dear Sirs/madum
How to remove silica from R O Plant feed water.
Kindly advice.

Reactive silica solubility in water depends on the pH and increases as pH increases from 7 onwards. Soda ash has a component of CO2 Which forms carbonic acid decreasing pH. Hence the lower pH precipitates reactive sliica.
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is highly reactive toward glass because it can dissolve silica (SiO2), a primary component of glass. The fluoride ions in HF react with the silicon atoms in silica, forming soluble silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) and leading to the degradation of the glass structure. This reaction makes HF particularly dangerous when handling glass containers, as it can etch and damage them, releasing the acid.
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
Krakatoa is silica-rich, meaning it contains a high amount of silicon dioxide (silica) in its composition. This high silica content is associated with explosive volcanic eruptions due to the interaction between silica and magma.
Rhyolite is silica-rich, containing over 70% silica. It is an extrusive igneous rock with a fine-grained texture that forms from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica content.

Alkali-silica reaction is seen in concrete structures where reactive silica from aggregates combines with alkalis in the cement, forming a gel that expands under moist conditions, leading to cracking and degradation of the concrete over time.
OPC is ordinary Portland cement and PPC is Portland pozolona cement. OPC is obtained by grinding clinker and gypsum whereas PPC is obtained by grinding clinker gypsum and high reactive silica. High reactive silica improves the quality of cement by reducing liberated lime.
Silicon is considered to be a relatively reactive element. It reacts with oxygen to form silicon dioxide (silica) and can also react with certain metals and nonmetals to form various compounds. However, silicon is more stable and less reactive compared to some other elements like alkali metals or halogens.

Diatomaceous earth, composed of the skeletons of tiny animals would be good, for it is finely divided, and thus quite reactive.

where can silica mineral can be found
Yes. Silica is everywhere.
The chemical compound silica is an oxide of silicon .In other words; silicon is in silica.
Calcite does not contain any silica. It is a carbonate mineral.
