Abstract Rice industrialization worldwide generates significant amounts of rice husk as a by-product. When is burned to obtain energy, relatively common practice, substantial portion the turns into ash, and both constitute environmental liabilities. Using ash starting materials produce high-value products could help in mitigating impact while providing economic revenue. produced local cogenerat...

The present study describes the adsorption of textile dye on rice hull. The adsorption parameters were obtained from Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms utilizing linear regression plots to fit the data. The results showed that Langmuir equation was more suitable than the Freundlich one to predict the experimental adsorption isotherms, indicating that the adsorption of dye molecules is localized ...

The present study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of rice polishing available in Pakistan used in poultry rations as an energy source. Chemical analysis of 195 samples was done. Overall, 60% samples had either lower or higher percentage of ether extract as compared to reference value (1316%). Large number of samples (41.54%) showed lower value of ether extract (less than 1...

A lung function study was carried out to determine the relative effect of rice husk and saw dust on mill workers. The study consisted of 195 subjects of which 56 rice mill workers, 71 saw mill workers and 68 controls of similar age, sex and socio-economic condition. FVC was significantly reduced in saw-mill workers compared to both the controls and rice mill workers. Both FEV1 and PEFR/min were...

Arsenic pollution became a great problem in the recent past in different countries including Bangladesh. The microlevel studies were conducted to see the spatial variation of arsenic in soils and plant parts contaminated through ground water irrigation. The study was performed in shallow tube well command areas in Sadar Upazila (subdistrict), Faridpur, Bangladesh, where both soil and irrigation...
