Single step eco-efficient mild chemical process for the total valorisation of rice husk: a focus on the inorganics as a cement additive.

ABSTRACT: The rice husk biomass remaining from the industrial processing of rice constitutes approximately 25 wt% of the edible rice produced, and its disposal is challenging due to its high silica content. Here, we describe the optimization of a single step innovative chemical process for the conversion of rice husk-based biomass into useable products which tackles all fractions of the input biomass. The chemical process consists of a single step hydrothermal low temperature treatment of rice husk biomass leading to three easy-to-recover fractions. With appropriate chemical treatments, each of these fractions can serve specific applications effectively, overcoming the issues present in the original biomass. This paper will present the treatment method and the optimization of chemical conditions for
