Highlights of Australian Patent Lodged:
- Provisional Australian patent application lodged which details a method for extracting silica from organic material including agricultural waste/biomass;
- Some agricultural wastes, especially rice husk, contain an attractive source of silica;
- Rice husk after silica extraction is potentially a new, large and economical biomass resource for Leaf Resources’ GlycellTM process;
- Further testing is required to determine if the extracted silica can be used in microchip manufacturing – an industry estimated to be worth over US$300 billion a year;
- Preliminary testing shows the GlycellTM process works well with rice husk and straw as an input.
