Rice husk is an abundant agricultural by-product reaching the output of 80 million tons annually in the world. The most common treatment method of rice husk is burning or burying, which caused serious air pollution and resource waste. In order to solve this problem, a new method is proposed to comprehensively utilize the rice husk in this paper. Firstly, the D-xylose was prepared from the semic...

dissolution of phosphate by p solubilizing microorganisms is dependent on the environmental conditions and the composition of the medium culture. present study conducted to investigate the effect of two fungal species, moisture content and rock phosphate content on water soluble phosphate (wsp), ph and changes of medium weight with time. two fungi aspergillus niger and one isolate from rock pho...

rice husk is as an organic solid waste material that has high adsorbing capacity in removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater, and can be very effective in treating industrial aqueous solutions that are important sources of water and soil pollution. in this study, the removal of zn(ii) and cr(vi) ions from aqueous solutions using rice husk was investigated. the investigated parameters include...

Rice is the major foodgrain of the world and it is the principle cereal consumed in India and other parts of Asia1. Milling of paddy to obtain edible rice grain yields two major byproducts of economic and nutritional importance, namely, paddy husk and rice bran. Paddy husk has no food value but has several industrial uses. Rice bran, on the other hand, can serve as an animal feed, as a human fo...

The technological trend towards waste utilization and cost reduction in industrial processing has attracted use of Rice Husk as a value added material. Both rice husk (RH) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) has been found suitable for wide range of domestic as well as industrial applications. Considering the importance and increasing demand of this material, a systematic study based on properties and indu...

The Rice Husk Ash is a cheap and readily available biosorbent for the removal of nickel ions from aqueous solutions. This investigation comprises of the equilibrium and kinetics study for biosorption of nickel ions from aqueous solutions using Rice Husk Ash powder as a biosorbent in a batch process. The Rice Husk Ash is obtained from a hotel near Andhra University campus, is dried in sunlight f...

This paper reports a soil-based bioassay of rice husk bio-ash impacts on redox properties and rice production. Bio-ash was produced during the pyrolytic process of rice husk as a boiler fuel, after which it was applied as an amendment to a flooded soil. Bio-ash was amended before rice transplanting at different mass rates including 0%, 0.1%, 1% and 5%, which was defined as T1, T2, T3, and T4 re...

in this research, rice husk and activated carbon adsorbents were used for removal of lead ion from aqueous solution at ph= 6. in the batch tests experimental parameters were studied, including contact time and initial metal ions concentration.survey of the equilibrium time at different concentration showed that equilibrium time is reduced with decrease of initial concentration of solution from ...
