Abstract

The research is on the effects of chemical treatment on the filler properties of rice husk powder. Rice husks were obtained from the mill and shared into four parts. One part is untreated and the remaining parts were treated in 10% sodium hydroxide, 10% benzoyl chloride and 10% hydrogen peroxide. The four different samples were ground and filtered and then characterized in terms of moisture absorption, lignin content, hemicellulose content and cellulose content. The FTIR and SEM analysis were carried out to know the functional group and the structure of the samples. The results showed that the moisture absorption decreased for the treated samples while the cellulose content increased. The SEM micrograph showed a finer structure for the treated samples. This may suggest stronger reinforcement for the treated samples.
