Rice husk is also used as a fuel for power generation. Rice husk ash (RHA) is about *5% by weight of rice husk when burnt in boilers. It is estimated that about *0 million tones of RHA is produced annually worldwide. This RHA is a great environment threat causing damage to the land and the surrounding area in which it is dumped.
During milling of paddy about *8 % of weight is received as rice , broken rice and bran .Rest *2 % of the weight of paddy is received as husk . This husk is used as fuel in the rice mills to generate steam for the parboiling process . This husk contains about *5 % organic volatile matter and the balance *5 % of the weight of this husk is converted into ash during the firing process , is known as rice husk ash ( RHA ). This RHA in turn contains around *5 % *0 % amorphous silica.
