Özet:In this thesis work, it was aimed to optimize the conditions to produce silicon carbide (SiC), from rice husks from Turkish Thrace Region, via pyrolysis. Rice husks, coked at 500oC, were high energy ball-milled prior to pyrolysis, in order to investigate the effects of ball-milling on pyrolysis temperature, pyrolysis time and morphology of the SiC produced. Samples of rice husks subjected to different ball milling conditions, were pyrolyzed at temperatures varying from 1500oC to 1600oC and for times varying from ½ hour to 2 hours. Results of experiments showed that, ball-milling reduced the pyrolysis temperature and pyrolysis time to some extent. It was also experimentally shown that ball-milling favored the formation of SiC particles rather than formation of SiC whisker.
