Paddy straw and rice husk (RH) are considered agricultural waste. About 22 wt% of paddy is RH, which is normally disposed of by open burning. Pelletizing RH increases the bulk density of the waste and is capable of providing benefits such as ease of transport and potentially a more efficient fuel fo...
