Parametric and kinetic study of washing pretreatment for K and Cl removal from rice husk

Rice husk is an abundant agricultural waste that can be used in combustion applications. The use of agricultural waste in combustion applications is hindered by slagging, fouling, and corrosion due to elements such as K, Cl, and Si. With the aim of removing those problematic elements using water was...
