Article Synopsis
- Rice hull (RH) is a common agricultural waste in rice-producing countries, causing environmental issues due to its slow natural degradation.
- RH is typically used as bedding for broiler chickens or burned for energy, which doesn't add value to the material.
- The review explores various biotechnological applications of RH, including its use as fertilizers, fillers in natural rubber, cement incorporation, and environmental remediation, while also suggesting future research directions for improving RH biodegradation and methane production.
