Dual exploitation: Production of activated carbon and water glass using biogenic residue

The objective of the present work comprises the development of a sustainable process for multi-material use of biomass using rice husk. This work represents an economic and ecological production of activated carbon and water glass using the carbon and silica content of rice husk. Compared to conventional production processes this combined process represents an energy and resource-saving alternative.
