Selected Value Chain Analysis done in the full report

  • Rice milling generates rice and a by-product which is husk.In this process, 78% of the product is rice and remaining 22% of husk is obtained. In this husk, again 75% is used as a fuel in the boilers for processing paddy and producing energy through direct combustion or by gasification. The remaining 25% of husk is converted into ash through burning and is known as Rice Husk Ash (RHA). This RHA in turn contains around 85% - 90% amorphous silica. The process involved in converting rice husk to rice husk ash are discussed below.
  • Rice husk is of low density and unusual shape, hence it poses storage and transportation challenges. It is usually ground and packed in PP bags, or in powder format in lined bags. These bags are transported to rice husk ash processing plants, and unloading takes place through closed bucket or suction.
  • The rice husk which is supposed to be transformed into Rice Husk Ash, is firstly heated in an oven at 60 degrees Celsius for two hours. After heating, it is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid solution for two minutes. 
  • Later, the above substance is again kept in an oven and heated at 60 degrees Celsius for 4 hours. Upon this, the substance is moved into muffle furnace and heated at a temperature of 500 degrees Celsius for 5 hours. Finally, the product obtained after this process is rice husk ash.
  • RHA is vulnerable to environmental concerns which cause damage to land and surrounding area where it is dumped. Therefore, commercial use of rice husk and its ash is an alternative solution to the disposal problem.
  • Hence, packaging is important for the high quality of the product as well as for the environment. Due to this reason, the packaging is done using plastic woven bags, cardboard box, new or used jumbo bags.
  • Rice husk ash is employed in various applications such as buildings and construction, steel industry, Ceramics, refractory and others.
