Abstract

This study is an attempt to establish the possibilities to obtain black rice husk ash (BRHA) and white rice husk ash (WRHA) via pyrolysis of wasted raw rice husks in a pilot plant fluidized-bed reactor at different conditions. The process course auto thermally, without outer fuel. The released heat may be used for steam obtaining or drying. The solid products obtained (BRHA or WRHA) are characterized using X-ray diffraction patterns, thermal analysis, and low temperature nitrogen adsorption. Using batch adsorption technique, the kinetics was studied and the adsorption capacities of crude oil and diesel fuel at different temperatures as well as some hydrocarbons at 298 K onto BRHA and WRHA are determined. It was established that BRHA have been higher adsorption capacity than WRHA. At a given temperature, BRHA sorbed more crude oil than diesel fuel. The results obtained showed that the material studied has high adsorption capacity and low cost and may successfully be used as an effective adsorbent to cleanup of bilge water and spills of oil and oil products in water basins. Because the saturated BRHA with crude oil, diesel fuel or different hydrocarbons are characterized with high calorific, they can be burnt in incinerators, industrial ovens or steam generators. By this way, we attain not only ecological but also economical effect.
