SILICON FROM RICE HUSK - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Rice husk is a byproduct of agriculture a by product while is almost treated like waste and not serously bothered about. Consider, India's case every year about 60 million tonnes of paddy grown in the country produces upto 12 million tonnes of rice husk in over 900,000 rice mills spread around the country. Though, most of it is used as either a heating medium or as an animal feed . The strange fact is that 12 million tonnes of rice husk can have a heat value equivalent to around 20 million barrels of oil.
The silica from rice husk must compete with other cheap sources such as sand, bentonite and diatomaceous earth; however it frequently offers advantages because of minimal amounts of unwanted elements other than silica.
USES OF SILICON
Various uses and applications of Silicones are given as below:
1. As an alloying agent for steels aluminium, bronze, copper and iron.
2. Used in the production of hologenated silanes,
3. As an organosilicon compounds (silicone resins)
4. Silicon carbide.
5. Spring steels.
6. As a dioxidizer in steel manufacture
7. As a semiconductor in integrated circuits rectifiers transistors, diodes and other elctronic divices.
8. Cermets and other special refractories.
The major recent development in the silicon industry is the tripling of demand for solar grade polysilicon, with the expectation that the quantity used in solar photovoltaic (PV) modules will start to rival that in the high volume silicon markets within a few years. Furthermore, high value solar grade silicon allows much higher profit margins than the bulk markets. In 2012, the global consumption of silicon metal amounted to 2,020,000 tons, wherein Europe took the lead, accounting for 27% of the world’s total, China came as the second, taking up 24%.
