Traditional processing techniques often involve simple milling, chemical polishing, extensive wastewater discharge, and the disposal of byproducts, resulting in high dust emission concentrations during processing. The wastewater is far above environmental standards; direct discharge of wastewater causes waste of water resources, with COD concentrations typically ranging from 200 to 500 mg / L, polluting the aquatic environment; the processing energy consumption is high, with energy consumption per unit product being approximately 80-100 kWh / t, and the utilization rate of by-products such as rice bran and broken rice is less than 30%, resulting in serious resource waste.
