SILICON FROM RICE HUSK
[EIRI/EDPR/1266] (J.C.9926)
INTRODUCTION
Rice husk is a byproduct of agriculture a by-product while is almost treated like waste and not seriously bothered about. Consider, India's case every year about 60 million tons of paddy grown in the country produces upto 12 million tons of rice husk in over 900,000 rice mills spread around the country. Though, most of it is used as either a heating medium or as an animal feed. The strange fact is that 12 million tons of rice husk can have a heat value equivalent to around 20 million barrels of oil.
To be more precise 3 Kgs. of rice husk are equivalent to one litre of oil or 1.5 kilos of coal in heat content.
Rice husk basically consists of a mixture of moisture Carbon, Volatiles, Ash and silica in ash. Its net heating value is between 3010 and 3340 kilo calories per Kg. more over rice husk has low in cineration properties because of its silica content, modular shape and its light weight.
In general, furnace rice husk produces heat of 65% efficiency and in special type vertical furnace it will produce heat of 95% efficiency.
