Researchers recycle rice husks into a wonder material that removes toxic dyes from water
Researchers have developed a low-cost water filter using recycled rice husks, which can effectively remove toxic industrial dyes from water. The process involves converting rice husks into biochar, a porous material that absorbs contaminants. This innovation helps address both water pollution and agricultural waste by repurposing a common byproduct. The method offers a sustainable solution for treating wastewater in industries such as textiles and leather processing.
Scientists turned rice husks, a common agricultural waste product, into a filter that can remove toxic dyes from water.
