Rice husk ash (RHA) has been used as a catalyst precursor but there are lack of studies on the application of the resulting catalyst. This study allows researchers to have an insight on using RHA-sourced catalysts in pyrolysis and be encouraged to utilize waste materials in the future. The goal of t...
