Article Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase in interest in agricultural waste in scientific, technological, environmental, economic, and social contexts. The processing of rice husk ash/rice straw ash into biocompatible products-also known as biomaterials-used in biomedical implants is a technique that can enhance the value of agricultural waste. This method has effectively converted unprocessed agricultural waste into high-value products. Rice husk and straw are considered to be unwanted agricultural waste and are largely discarded because they pollute the environment. Because of the related components present in bone and teeth, this waste can produce wollastonite. Wollastonite is an excellent material for bone healing and implants, as well as tissue regeneration. The use of rice husk ash or rice straw ash in wollastonite production reduces the impact of agricultural waste on pollution and prompts the ensuing conversion of waste into a highly beneficial invention. The use of this agricultural waste in the fabrication of wollastonite using rice husk ash or rice straw ash was investigated in this paper. Wollastonite made from rice husk ash and rice straw ash has a fair chance of lowering the cost of bone and tooth repair and replacement, while having no environmental effects.

In this study, a silicon carbide (SiC) mixed-matrix membrane for oil-water separation was successfully fabricated within the nanofiltration range. Silicon carbide was synthesized using rice husk ash (RHA), an agricultural waste material, combined with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and subsequently incorporated into a mixed matrix membrane for oil-water separation. Polysulfone (PSF) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were employed as polymer supports for fabricating the SiC-based mixed matrix membrane, which was tested in a dead-end filtration setup.

This study investigates the effects of pyrolytic temperature and feedstock type on the release of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM) and its impact on the soil bacterial community and the composition of soil dissolved organic matter (SDOM). The BDOM was extracted from biochars produced from sheep bones, rice husk, and rabbit manure, prepared at low (400 °C, LPT) or high (700 °C, HPT) pyrolytic temperatures. The BDOM was then applied at a concentration of 2.

The efficient handling of agricultural waste is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition. This study analyzes the impact of three distinct pyrolysis temperatures (250, 300, and 350 °C) on the physicochemical properties of the biochar produced from rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, and groundnut shells with a fixed pyrolysis time of 3 h. The influence of the pyrolysis temperature was assessed by calculating the biochar yield, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, proximate analysis, and ultimate analysis.

This research investigates the synthesis and application of a bioderived xerogel (BDX) synthesized from rice husk and tannins to eliminate Ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water-based media. Xerogel was prepared via sol-gel method, incorporating rice husk ash and tannin extract, along with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a binding agent. Characterization techniques including, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), and BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area analysis were employed to evaluate its structural and chemical properties.

Silica/alumina composite particles were synthesized via the sol-gel method to promote fine dispersion and homogenous mixing. Aluminum chloride hydroxide served as the alumina precursor, while amorphous silica, obtained from rice husk, was directly incorporated into the alumina sol. Following synthesis, the material was calcined at 1000 °C, yielding an α-cristobalite form of silica and corundum-phase alumina.
