Rice husk, also known as rice hull, is the hard protective covering of the rice grain. It's a byproduct of rice milling and accounts for about 20% of the rice paddy's weight. Rice husk has several interesting properties and applications:

Properties:
Composition: Rice husk is rich in silica (around 15-20%), making it resistant to decomposition and useful in various industrial applications.
Lightweight: Despite being dense, rice husk is lightweight and can be used as an insulator.
Biodegradable: Though resistant to quick decomposition, it is still biodegradable and can be used in agriculture.
Abrasive: The high silica content makes rice husk abrasive, which can be both a benefit and a challenge in its use.
Uses:
Agriculture: Rice husk is often used as a soil conditioner, mulch, and in composting. It improves soil aeration and water retention.
Energy Production: Rice husk can be burned as a fuel to generate energy. It is used in biomass power plants and for producing rice husk ash, which has applications in cement and construction.
Construction Materials: Rice husk ash, when burned at high temperatures, produces a material rich in silica that can be used as a pozzolan in cement and concrete. It enhances the strength and durability of concrete.
Insulation: Due to its insulating properties, rice husk is used in the manufacture of insulating boards and other materials.
Animal Bedding: It is also used as bedding material for livestock.
