In this study, adsorption of zinc onto the adsorbent (untreated rice husk and NaOH-treated rice husk) was examined. During the removal process, batch technique was used, and the effects of pH and contact time were investigated. Langmuir isotherm was applied in order to determine the efficiency of NaOH-treated rice husk used as an adsorbent. The zinc adsorption was fast, and equilibrium was atta...

Due to rapid growth in population and industrialization, some new technologies are made for waste utilization and cost reduction in industrial processing by using rice husk (lignocellulosic biomass) as a valued material. In this paper various industrial and domestic application of rice husk and rice husk ash are discussed. Rice husk act as adsorbent for removing heavy metals from wastewater. In...

Synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using coconut husk as a green and natural resource for supercapacitor (SC) applications.

The present study was conducted to prepare dietary fiber rich chicken meat rolls and patties. The combination of two different sources of dietary fiber has been used viz. rice bran and psyllium husk. Three different levels of rice bran and psyllium husk viz. 10% rice bran and 2% psyllium husk, 10% rice bran and 4% psyllium husk and 10% rice bran and 6% psyllium husk were tried. The sensory char...

Ionic liquids that dissolve cellulose provide an option to pretreat lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, potential application of three ionic liquids in pretreating rice husk and their abilities in dissolving rice husk cellulose were investigated. The ionic liquids applied were 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]OAc), and 1-ethyl-3-meth...
