Abstract

Alkaline hydrolyzates obtained from rice shuck processing were investigated. Results of the purification of alkaline hydrolyzates by means of coagulation, neutralization with the release of silicic acid, and sorption are presented. It is demonstrated that the purification methods used do not provide the requirements for preliminarily purified and fresh water for use in manufacturing unbleached cellulose with respect to the main hydrochemical parameters (coloration, mineralization, pH). It is established that alkaline hydrolyzates can be utilized with the formation of amorphous silicon dioxide which has a broad range of applications.
