R&D and production companies promoting the production of rice husk ash to white carbon black have invested in extensive research and development in recent years, and have successfully developed technologies that use biomass (rice husk) instead of natural gas as fuel and use rice husk ash produced by burning rice husk as a silicon-based substitute for quartz sand to produce highly dispersed silicon dioxide. Activated carbon can be extracted during the rice husk combustion process, carbon dioxide can be solidified using activated carbon dioxide, greatly reducing carbon dioxide emissions, turning waste into treasure, and making the product more internationally competitive.
