To increase the performance of continuous adsorption with rice husks as adsorbent in Zn removal from groundwater, a series fixed bed column was applied. The experiments were carried out at acrylic columns having diameter 7 cm, height 19.5 13.5 cm and flow rate 2 gpm/ft2 (310 mL/minute) for 540 minutes. number used 3 arranged husk their original size (1-2 mm). influent concentration metal 7.62 m...

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) obtained by autohydrolysis of rice husks were demonstrated in a previous study to act as fermentable substrates by the intestinal microbiota in human fecal slurry cultures, leading to the generation of acetic and lactic acids and supporting the growth of bifidobacteria (Gullón et al. 2011). The purpose of the present study was to provide new insights into other possib...

In this work, the efficiency of activated carbon derived from carbonized date pits (ADP) and rice husks (ARH) was compared with commercial activated carbon (CAC) for the reduction of COD in wastewater arising from resin manufacturing plant. The process was studied in batch mode with employing different absorbents optimizing various parameters, such as adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH. Adso...

Rice is one of the most widely consumed cereals in world. The husks harvested, unprocessed rice are not digested by humans and need to be removed obtain edible grains, whereas bran can partially (brown rice) or totally (white rice). Brown a wholegrain cereal and, as such, known have beneficial effects on human health. Recent epidemiological studies shown that consumption whole grains reduce ris...

Rice husks are a major agricultural residue with growing volume in Nigeria recent times owing to the country’s drive for self-sufficiency rice production. have great potential use as fillers biocomposites applications manufacture of engineering products. However, hydrophilic nature this limits its choice biocomposites. This study focused on modification property through treatment benzene diazon...

Industrial eggshell waste (ES) is classified as an animal by-product not intended to human consumption. For reducing pathogen spreading risk due to soil incorporation of ES, sanitation by composting is a pre-treatment option. This work aims to evaluate eggshell waste recycling in self-heating composting reactors and investigate ES effect on process evolution and end product quality. Potato peel...
