AB  - Millions of tonnes of rice husk (RH) are produced annually as an agricultural waste. One area of interest for RH valorisation is to use rice husk ash (RHA, a by-product of RH combustion) as a replacement for mineral-derived synthetic amorphous silica (M-SAS). However, little information is available on the environmental benefit of this approach. This study details the first evaluation of the environmental benefits of producing RH-derived synthetic amorphous silica (RH-SAS). This is done by describing the life cycle of RH-SAS in terms of stages for which existing life cycle inventories can be linked and aggregated in a modular way. It is then shown how the physical meaning of linkages between modules are governed by both the characteristics of the RH feedstock and efficiencies of processes across the life cycle. To provide more robust findings, the sensitivity of predictions to model uncertainty are also considered. Finally, a case is provided for the benefit of RH-SAS production within the Asia-Pacific (APAC) SAS market.
