“…1) illustrated the potential value of Si in the rice harvest that can be recovered with advanced usages of the rice husk Si, e.g. in vulcanization process of natural rubber (Sae-Oui et al, 2002), additive to enhance strength and permeability of concrete (Ganesan et al, 2008). However, too high Si concentration may hamper energy recovery from the rice husk and straw as biofuel (Raveendran et al, 1995;McKendry, 2002;Bharadwaj et al, 2004) or animal feed (Van Soest, 2006).…”

Rice grain yield benefits from silicon (Si) accumulation in sufficient concentration in the plant, but too much Si in the husk and straw can impede their usefulness as biofuel and animal feed. This study consisted of four experiments. The first experiment evaluated genotypic variation in Si distribution in different parts of the rice grain from farmers' fields in northern Thailand, parts of grain to compare tall plant type and semi-dwarf varieties. The result showed that there were significant differences among the rice varieties in Si concentration of their husk and straw, but without clear distinction between the tall and semi-dwarf plant type or between wetland and upland ecotype. The second experiment evaluated Si distribution in different plant parts among 29 Thai rice varieties, and found significant variation in Si concentration among different parts of the rice plant parts, with the husk Si almost twice the straw, and among the rice ecotypes. The third experiment determined the effect of Si fertilizer on Si distribution in a pot experiment on 3 rice varieties with and without of Si application. The fourth experiment evaluated the effect of different growing locations on Si concentration in different plant parts of the 3 rice varieties. These last 2 experiments showed that rice varieties responded differently to Si fertilizer and location in the Si concentration in their husk and straw. Grain yield was significantly correlated with the Si concentration in the husk but not in the straw. The genotype by environment and management interaction effect on Si concentration in the rice husk and straw together with their relationship to grain yield suggested that further investigation of the relationship between husk Si and grain yield. The underlying processes should make Si management for rice production more effective, for the potential energy to be recovered from the husk and straw as well as grain yield.

“…A summary of some of the studies on the use of by-products for non-ruminant animal feeding is shown in Table 3. Ganesan et al (2008) reported that more than 13 million tonnes of DDGS were produced in 2007 and the output keeps rising as new ethanol plants come into production. As has been pointed out, these products will be increasingly used for non-ruminant feeding due to feed shortages.…”

“…The flowability of powder is a multifunctional parameter which depends on particle size and size distribution, shape, particle interactions and moisture content [9,10]. Mullarney and leyva [11] investigated the possibility of predicting powder flowability based on the particle size distribution data.…”

Detergent powders are sometimes processed into compact tablets for cleaning purposes based on the advantage of dosage, minimised dusting and packaging its offers over their powder counterpart. The flow-ability greatly influences handling. The particle size within the powder plays a key role on handling, flow-ability and the strength of the produced compact detergent tablet. The Ariel powder used in this study was separated into different size ranges via sieving; thereafter flowability, compression and compaction were carried out. The compressibility of the powder under 2 KN compaction force was analysed using Heckel equation. It was found that at the same compaction pressure, smaller size particle powders formed compact of greater tensile strength than larger particle. However, the powder with size range of 125-180 µm showed higher flowability compared to other size range.
