摘要
Results of the studies on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of raw and 1(N) HCl acid treated rice husk (in still air) reveal that its thermal degradation takes place in three main stages of mass loss, namely (i) drying, (ii) devolatilization and (iii) slow oxidation of fixed carbon. Hydrochloric acid leaching of husk at 75-degrees-C for 1 h prior to combustion is necessary for production of amorphous silica of complete white colour. For production of low calorie-combustible gas along with amorphous silica from the rice husks containing 5.5-7% (wb) moisture, a furnace set temperature of 450-degrees-C appears to be optimal.
