The new MDF plant is designed for an annual production of 205,000 m³, the board spectrum covers 3 to 40 mm. By using the annual plant rice straw, it opens up new perspectives for a raw material that would otherwise be largely incinerated as a waste product. It also closes the gaps caused by insufficient local wood resources.

Nanofibers (NF) were isolated from bleached bagasse and rice straw pulps. The pulps were refined using high-shear ultrafine grinder and then homogenized using high-pressure homogenizer. The efficiency of the used isolation processes was studied by optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy …
Half of the globe's population relies primarily on rice as a source of calories and nourishment (Arvanitoyannis and Tserkezou 2008 ), but its waste, i.e., rice straw (RS), is a big problem for environmentalists. Various researchers are working to convert this waste into a reliable and renewable energy source for the world (Zhao et al. 2010 ).

The main objective of this study was to study the delignification and hydrolysis abilities of bacteria isolated from wood feeding termite on rice straw samples. The extent of degradation and hydrolysis capabilities of the isolated bacteria was also studied. It was attempted to characterize the biologically treated and untreated rice straw ...
Upon thermochemical treatments, rice straw can be converted to biochar with superior physico-chemical and structural characteristics, including increased carbon content, enhanced surface area, porosity and ion exchange capacity, which make rice straw-derived biochar (RSB) a promising bio-based precursor for adsorbents (Wang et …
The failure to generate activated carbon from primary sources such as hard coal, shells, and wood is the key reason for using other biomaterials, including rice …
Egypt is planning to build a $230m factory for turning rice straw into wood, the official Ahram Online news agency reported yesterday. The factory, earmarked for a site in Beheira Province in the Nile delta, will produce 205,000 square metres of medium-density fibreboard (MDF) a year using technology supplied by German engineering firm ...
Thus, this review article presents collected information from the currently available statistics, the composition of rice straw, and other pulping methods, including bleaching, isolation of NC, and production of …
Similarly, trial 4 (75% adhesive, 11.67% rice straw, 8.33% wood shavings, 5% plastic bottles) showed the same results after undergoing the aforementioned tests.
