| Abstract | In the present work, rice husks (RHs), which, worldwide, represent one of the most abundant agricultural wastes in terms of their quantity, have been treated and fractionated in order to allow for their complete valorization. RHs coming from the raw and parboiled rice production have been submitted at first to a hydrothermal pretreatment followed by a deep eutectic solvent fractionation, allowing for the separation of the different components by means of an environmentally friendly process. The lignins obtained from raw and parboiled RHs have been thoroughly characterized and showed similar physico-chemical characteristics, indicating that the parboiling process does not introduce obvious lignin alterations. In addition, a preliminary evaluation of the potentiality of such lignin fractions as precursors of cement water reducers has provided encouraging results. A fermentation-based optional preprocess has also been investigated. However, both raw and parboiled RHs demonstrated a poor performance as a microbiological growth substrate, even in submerged fermentation using cellulose-degrading fungi. The described methodology appears to be a promising strategy for the valorization of these important waste biomasses coming from the rice industry towards a circular economy perspective. |
