Kinetics of adsorption of Cu(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution on rice husk and modified rice husk
(University of Vigo, 2007-02)The present study is aimed to investigate the adsorption behavior of Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions onto rice husk and modified rice husk. The adsorption of the heavy metal ions over both the adsorbents was found to follow Langmuir ... -
Thermogravimetric analysis and the optimisation of bio-oil yield from fixed-bed pyrolysis of rice husk using response surface methodology (RSM)
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-03)The effects of pyrolysis temperature, heating rate, particle size, holding time, and gas flow rate were investigated to optimize bio-oil yield from rice husk pyrolysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed thermal degradation ...
