Abstract

Rice-husk (RH) is an agricultural by-product material. It constitutes about 20 % of the weight of rice. It contains about 50 % cellulose, 25–30 % lignin, and 15–20 % of silica. When rice-husk is burnt rice-husk ash (RHA) is generated. On burning, cellulose and lignin are removed leaving behind silica ash. The controlled temperature and environment of burning yields better quality of rice-husk ash as its particle size and specific surface area are dependent on burning condition. For every 1000 kg of paddy milled, about 200 kg (20 %) of husk is produced, and when this husk is burnt in the boilers, about 50 kg (25 %) of RHA is generated. Completely burnt rice-husk is grey to white in color, while partially burnt rice-husk ash is blackish
