Rice Husk Superiority as Biomass Fuel

Rice husk has rich crude fiber content, lingnocellulos and cellulose 40%, and five-carbon sugar polymers, also named as hemicelluloses 5%. The bulk density of rice husk is 96-160kg/m³,which will be higher after crushing. Ash content is around 15-16% and moisture content is around 12%. Rice husk’s caloric value is about 14 MJ/kg, which equaling 35% of the caloric value of diesel or bunker oil with a caloric value of 40.5 MJ/kg.

Rice husks is just like woods, which is a good material for fuel pellet production. The component comparison of the rick husk and woods are shown in the following forms for your reference.
