I have heard that people do use rice husk mixed with furnace oil (60-20 ratio). Pls. let me know of someone's experience in this field.

Inspite of its low Calorific Value, this will help in making a productive use of the bio product and reduce the dependence on coal. You have said you are planning to use Fly ash blending for PPC. Fly ash is nothing but fine silica. While burning Rice Husk, keep one thing in mind that it would give about 30% ash after burniong, and this rice husk ash is about 94% fine silica itself, which we are trying to add through the blending route. There is a danger that you might overshoot the percentage of free silica in the cement. Pl. take care that the rice husk ash silica is accounted for in your blending ratios. I have been working in this area for some time now, and found that rice husk ash, is more of the form of reactive silica and is the amorphous form of silica. It was found to be having a better blaine no. of about 3,200 as compared to the cement blaine no. of about 3000. I would recommend you go ahead. Chari --------------------------------- Bored stiff?

The emission factor when combusting charcoal is larger than for wood combustion as charcoal contains up to 98% carbon. But if you look at the emission factor per energy unit of charcoal and for wood, it should - theoretically be about the same, no?
