Rice Hulls as a Renewable Complex Material Resource

As a result of rice grain processing, a big amount of waste (up to 20%) is produced. It is mainly rice hulls. The main components of rice hulls are cellulose, lignin and mineral ash. The mineral ash quantity in rice hulls varies from 15 up to 20%, by weight of the rice hulls. The mineral ash consists of amorphous silica (opal-type). Due to the high content of silica in rice hulls, the material burns with difficulty under natural conditions, and it is biodegradably destroyed only with difficulty, when composted. Utilization of rice hulls then becomes an ecological problem due to huge rice production and its continuous growth. At the same time, the annual quantity of silica content in rice hulls is comparable with the quantity of amorphous silica produced as a mineral resource. The issue of manufacturing cellular glass silica construction materials from rice hulls as a renewable resource is discussed in this paper. The utilization technology is based on an amorphous silicon oxide with the use of energy from the combustion of the organic component of rice hulls.

“…Biomass is one of the most significant renewable energy resources, providing 55% of renewable energy globally [3]. Biomass could be utilised from a broad spectrum of plant wastes, including crops and trees, agricultural crop wastes, waste from woody and fibrous materials, waste from food and feed industries and other waste from organic materials [4].…”

This research aimed to study the characteristics of carbonized durian peel biobriquette using tar as a binder. A 1:10 ratio of binder and carbonized durian peel was used. The 25, 50, and 75% (coded as P1, P2, and P3, respectively) tar were used as a binder alongside tapioca flour to produce a binder with different tar concentrations. The briquette characteristics determined moisture content, ash content, calorific value, density, and water-absorbing capacity. Moisture content ranged from 9.32% to 9,41% for treatments P1 to P3, while the ash content ranged from 12,29% to 13,09%, showing no significant difference among the treatments. Massive difference was observed in calorific value, as P1 gives 5106/35 cal g-1 calorific value while P2 and P3 give 9267.56 and 9694.53 cal g-1, respectively. The density observed was relatively low, ranging from 0.5029 g cm-3 to 0,5685 g cm-2. As for water-absorbing capacity, P3 absorbed the least amount of water, 29.43%. From this research, we can conclude that coconut shell tar has the potential to be utilized as a binder in forming biobriquette from carbonized durian peel.

“…In light of the low tar content downdraft gasifier has been fruitful for working motors. In the downdraft gasifier air contacts the pyrolyzing biomass before it contacts the roast and supports a fire like the fire which is created the warmth from the consuming volatiles keeps up the pyrolysis and after this marvel happens with in a gasifier [8] and the restricted air gracefully in the gasifier is quickly used, so the fire gets more extravagant as pyrolysis continues and toward the finish of the pyrolysis zone and the gases comprise for the most part of about equivalent pieces of CO2, H2O, CO, and H2 and we call this fire in a constrained air flexibly "flaring pyrolysis‖ and the blazing pyrolysis delivers the majority of the flammable gases produced during downdraft gasification and at the same time devours 99% of the tars and it is the key instrument for gas age in downdraft gasifier [9].…”

Now a days world needs a non-renewable energy source like fossil fuel, at ugly rates, that has hyperbolic the significant development in renewable energy sources. Biomass is one such supply of renewable energy that is copiously out there in worlds within the sort of industrial and agricultural products. Gasification is the process of that convert the biomass into the fuel like combustible gas. These produced gases can be used in various applications. Downdraft Gasifier is one of the best suited types of gasifier for gasification process to produces the combustible gases from biomass. Because of its simple design and advantages like flexibility in feed stock, good process management, minimum tar produced. the concept of gasifier style ought to be in such some way that it will convert the solid biomass such as wood chips. Wooden blocks, Soyabean husk etc. wastes into the shape clean product gases.
