Studies on the Characterization of Agriculture Waste (Rice Husk) for the Production of Bioethanol

The utilization of agricultural waste as second generation biofuels or byproduct had given an intense attraction to the reseachers as it is an eco-friendly renewable alternative that would be beneficial for the environment to recycle the waste to produce eco-material that have high end value. In thi...
