To improve the ability of the rice husk to purify colored wastewater, effluent from the alkaline scouring of cotton yarn was used immediately after the scouring (without cooling and additionally added chemicals) in order to remove the non-cellulosic silicon-lignin shield from the rice husk’s surface. This rice husk, with 93.8 mg/g adsorption capacity, behaves similarly as the rice husk treated with an optimized alkaline scouring recipe consisting of 20 g/L NaOH, 2 mL/L Cotoblanc HTD-N and 1 mL/L Kemonecer NI at 70 °C for 30 min with an adsorption capacity of 88.9 mg/g of direct Congo red dye. Treating one form of waste (rice husk) with another (effluent from the alkaline scouring of cellulosic plant fibers), in an effort to produce a material able to purify colored effluent, is an elegant environment-friendly concept based on the circular economy strategy. This will result in a closed-loop energy-efficient process of the pre-treatment of cotton (alkaline scouring), modification of rice husk using effluent from the alkaline scouring, dyeing cotton fabrics and cleaning its colored effluents with modified rice husk without adding chemicals and energy for heating.

The treatment of dye wastewater by activated carbon (AC) prepared from rice husk residue wastes was studied. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to investigate the effects of contact time, initial concentration (50–450 mg/L), pH (3–11) and temperature (30–70 °C) on the removal of methylene blue (MB), neutral red, and methyl orange. Kinetic investigation revealed that the adsorption of dyes followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The results suggested that AC was effective to remove dyes, especially MB, from aqueous solutions. Desorption studies found that chemisorption by the adsorbent might be the major mode of dye removal. Fourier transform infrared results suggested that dye molecules were likely to combine with the O–H and P=OOH groups of AC.

The adsorption of reactive dye (RB 222) onto cross-linked chitosan-rice husk ash composite beads was investigated. BET, SEM and FTIR methodologies were used to characterize the properties of the composite beads. The results indicated that the BET surface area values of cross-linked chitosan-rice husk ash composite beads were 4 .740 m2 /g . The effects of various parameters on the adsorption behavior of composite beads including pH (2-12), temperature (20°C, 30°C and 40°C), and initial concentration (10-850 mg/L) were studied. The dye concentrations after adsorption process were measured using a UV/VIS Spectrophotometer at 611 nm. For the effect of pH on reactive dye (RB 222) removal, the highest value of dye removal was obtained at pH 2. The isotherm study was fitted by Freundlich Isotherm. Moreover, thermodynamics of adsorption was also found that the △Go had negative values. It indicates the feasibility of adsorption process at temperature below 40°C.

Highly mesoporous active carbon for removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was prepared from pyrolyzed rice husk by combination of CO2activation and NaOH-solution boiling. The preparation method was found to be alkali-saving and equipment-friendly. The prepared active carbon exhibited high mesoporosity (79.1%), with mesopore volume and specific surface area up to 0.619 mL/g and 899 m2/g, respectively. At initial MB concentrations of 240-380 mg/L, the MB removal efficiency of the prepared active carbon ranged from 92% to more than 99%, fairly comparable to that of the highly mesoporous commercial active carbon used for reference. The adsorption of MB onto the prepared active carbon well followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm. This study indicated that highly mesoporous active carbon with large dye removal efficiency could be prepared from rice husk by an alkali-saving and equipment-friendly process.
