“…To solve this issue, desilication by alkali treatment was carried out, according to a previously published study. The desilicated rice hull had 0.2% acetone extraction, 5.9% hot water extraction, 10.0% lignin, 29.4% cellulose, 9.4% xylan, and 2.2% of inorganics [24]. Meanwhile, rice hull composition that has not undergone silica removal contains 28.7-35.62% cellulose, 11.96-29.3% hemicellulose, 15.38-20% lignin, and 17-18.71% ash/silica [29].…”
