PRODUCTION OF SODIUM SILICATE FROM RICE HUSK ASH (RHA) AND OTHER CROP RESIDUE/ WASTES

This project aims to recover silica and other valuable bio-based materials from Rice Husk Ash (RHA) generated in selected rice mills. The recovered materials are being utilized for the production of sodium silicate, supporting local material substitution and sustainable industrial inputs. Activities include collection and characterization of RHA samples, laboratory processing, and pilot-scale trials. The project contributes to waste valorization and the promotion of circular resource use in agro-industrial value chains
