Effect of alkaline pretreatment on the thermal behavior and chemical properties of rice husk varieties in relation to activated carbon production
. Menya, E; Olupot, P. W.; Storz, H.; Lubwama, M.; Kiros, Y.; John, M. J. (Springer, 2019-07-19)Thermal behavior and chemical properties of selected raw and NaOH-pretreated rice husk varieties were investigated. NaOH- pre treatment process involved soaking 5 g rice husk samples in 40 mL of 2%w/v NaOH, shaking (400 ... -
Optimization of pyrolysis conditions for char production from rice husks and its characterization as a precursor for production of activated carbon
Menya, E.; Olupot, P. W.; Storz, H.; Lubwama, M.; Kiros, Y.; John, M. J. (Springer, 2019-03-13)Response surface methodology was employed to optimize pyrolysis conditions for the production of char with maximum yield, fixed carbon content, and minimum ash content from Uganda’s New Rice for Africa (NERICA) 1 rice husk ... -
Production and performance of activated carbon from rice husks for removal of natural organic matter from water:
Menya, E.; Olupot, P.W.; Storz, H.; Lubwama, M.; Kiros, Y. (Elsevier, 2017-11-02)Adsorption by activated carbon has great potential to improve natural organic matter (NOM) removal from water. However, the high production and regeneration costs limit its wide scale application. To address these limitations, ...
