Potential Waste Rice Husks in the Acid Hydrolysis Reaction

Abstract: Rice husks waste is one can be utilized as an alternative fuel, because rice husks have contained relatively big composition the cellulose. In Malang areaEast Java of Indonesia is still a lot of rice husks, that is a great potential to make useful product. To be alternative fuel, rice husk must through several stages of the process a pretreatment process or delignification lignin, hydrolysis, fermentation and destilation.For this research,author focus on a hydrolysis process.Hydrolysis is carried out by acid hydrolysis using HCL and H 2 SO 4 catalyst, with variation of concentrations acid and comparison rice husks and water. The results obtained from the highes glucose concentration obtained at a ratio of 1:10 and the concentration of HCL 9 % is 88,625 %
