and herbaceous plants, rice husks account for 20%-25%
of dry matter rice, and rice
husks are usually separated at rice processing centers [2]. Although the main part of
rice husks is used as animal feed, a large amount of this biomass is still unused or
burned in an open environment [3]. The direct burning of rice husks in an open
environment can
cause environmental pollution, which is not a good and
recommendable practice for sustainable development. Therefore, rice husks should be
properly utilized for the production of high value-added products.
Compared to other agricultural residues, rice husks have some unique properties,
such as high silica content, high porosity, light weight and very high external surface
area, making them valuable materials for industrial applications [4]. Over the past two
decades, researchers have focused on the use of rice husks biomass for other
applications such as absorbents, coatings, pigments, cements, insulators, rubber,
electronics, energy, and production of potential reinforcement
for fabrication of
MMCs and CMCs due to its low cost and rich supply around the world [5-7].
Dyestuffs are commonly used in dye products in the textiles, rubber, paper,
plastics, and cosmetics industries. The discharge of residual dye wastewater is a
serious environmental problem. Many organic dyes contain toxic substances that may
affect aquatic organisms and even affect the food chain, causing damage to the
ecological environment [8]. The removal of dyes
is an essential task for
environmental protection. Adsorption has been found to be an attractive process for
removing dyes from industrial effluents. Alternative low-cost, non-conventional
adsorbents such as bagasse fly ash, rice
husks ash, peat, lignite, bagasse pith, wood,
and sawdust have been proposed for the treatment of effluents [9, 10]. Among of them,
the use of rice husks as raw materials to prepare adsorbent materials for the
purification of dye wastewater is focused on silica-based activated carbons mainly
utilizes its low price and richness in silica and cellulose-based activated carbon
because of its high cellulose content [11]. In the previous research,
the use of rice
husk as sources of silica to produce silica based catalyst was used to study the
adsorption and photo-degradation for methylene blue (MB) under UV irradiation by
synthesized via sol–gel method [12]. Long Lin et al. have prepared mesoporous
