This book covers the processing, properties, and application of rice husk, also widely known as rice hull, which is an available agricultural waste in numerous rice-producing countries. These by-products are generated in significant quantities and must be treated and disposed of properly. Rice husk is an abundantly available waste material in all rice-producing countries. Approximately 120 million tons of rice husk is available each year after it has been removed from the whole rice paddy and is composed of 15% carbon, 18% ash, and 67% volatile matter. This book covers in-depth about processing and properties of rice husk and different by-products such as silica, rice husk ash, and nano fillers. This book also deals with various applications of rice husk in adsorbent, construction and building materials, composites, and nanocomposites. The book is a comprehensive reference resource for graduate students, early career researchers, scientists as well technologists working in the field of forestry, natural resources, material, and polymer sciences from concepts, fabrication, properties, and applications.

Dr. Brajendra Parmar presently working as Principal Scientist, Soil Science, ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad, India. Dr. Brajendra is Trained Soil Fertility/Chemistry/Microbiology Scientist by profession. He extensively worked on soil quality, information systems, nutrient dynamics, and GIS-based mapping of the remotest hill tops of the Eastern Himalayas to the vast stretch of Indo-Gangetic Plains of India, covering the entire Chotanagpur plateau of Jharkhand and the Southern Indian peninsular masses. Fond of developing technologies for transforming the lives of the small and marginal farmers, he has a distinction of championing several technologies such as rapid soil health testing kit for acid and saline, saline-sodic soils, online e-soil health card generation system, a DSS for economizing fertilizer doses based on soil tests, stress-tolerant rice varieties. Presently Member of several societies, organization, and editorial boards, he has been among the organizers of key agri events in India and abroad.
