The first production of silicon dioxide from rice husks in Russia has been launched in Kuban

A new production plant in the Krasnodar Territory, Russia, has started operation, producing 450 tons of pure silicon dioxide annually from rice husk.

After the plant reaches its design capacity, the output volume will be 450 tons per year The technological process of the only import-substituting production of pure silicon dioxide from rice husk in Russia has been launched at a plant in the Krasnodar Territory. This was announced by the region's governor, Veniamin Kondratyev. "The plant is the result of joint efforts by science, business and government. Government support helps business, it interacts with science and invests in the development of the region and the country.
