As a staple food for much of the world, rice production is widespread. However, it also
results in the generation of large quantities of non-food biomass, primarily in the form of …

Rice husk, which is a relatively abundant and inexpensive material, is currently being
investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants from water and …

Rice husk is an attractive bio-based adsorbent material for pollutant removal since it is one
of the low-cost and renewable resources. The objective of this review is to give a summary of …

Rice husk as a low-value agricultural by-product can be made into sorbent materials which
are used in heavy metal and dye removal. It has been investigated as a replacement for …

A biomatrix was prepared from rice husk, a lignocellulosic waste from agro-industry, for the
removal of several heavy metals as a function of pH and metal concentrations in single and …

Lignocellulosic biomass is most abundant, ecofriendly and sustainable material on this
