Pressurised pyrolysis of rice husk

Pressurised pyrolysis of rice husk

Malaysia produces every year huge quantities of agro residue such as rice husk, palm shell, sugar cane and etc. Pusat Tenaga Malaysia reported that the estimating potential energy of biomass around 834.305 PJ in year 2002. Rice husk has a potential energy around 7.536 PJ. Raw rice husk is not suitab...
