Integration of cement-based products with nanosized-palm oil fuel ash as supplementary cementing material (SCM) amend its hydration’s degree at early age phase and the microstructural groundworks are relevant to explain the findings. Hence, the present work investigates the microstructure properties of the hardened cement paste (HCP) incorporating nPOFA to study on the effect of nPOFA in cement hydration at an early age phase. An Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) paste as a set of HCP blended with microsized-palm oil fuel ash (mPOFA) (10-30%) and nPOFA (10-60%) were prepared and cured for 28 days. The microstructural examination of OPC, mPOFA and nPOFA cement pastes at 28 days curing age via Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, morphology study and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis. In TG analysis, the relative weight loss of calcium hydroxide (CH) of nPOFA pastes is lower than OPC and mPOFA. Based on the CH peaks at 2?= 18.1°and 34.0° in the diffractogram, it shows that nPOFA pastes give the low CH peaks compare to OPC and mPOFA pastes. In addition, the nPOFA pastes form the dense and compact microstructure of HCP compare to other pastes. Observations from FTIR analysis, nPOFA pastes display a high frequency of Si-O band due to the high rate of pozzolanic reaction. Overall, the findings confirmed the contribution of nPOFA in accelerating the rate of cement hydration and pozzolanic reaction as it reduced the amount of CH in the cementitious matrix.

Research of  the utilization solid waste of palm oil fuel ash from boiler as row materials  for manufacturing light concrete brick has been conducted. The main objective of this study is to investigate the potential use solid waste of palm oil fuel ash from palm oil mill boilers as row materials for manufacturing light concrete brick has recently attracted for an alternative environmentally sustainable application. In this study, light concrete brick made with various proportions of palm oil fuel ash from palm oil mill boilers and sand were fabricated and studied under laboratory scales. Percentage of palm oil fuel ash of 0% as a control,  10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, replacement  sand, wheras others materials such as Portland cement, lime, gypsum, foaming agent and aluminium with the numbers constant. The quality of light concreate brick   were applied followed by the compressive strength test, density and water absorption capacity. The study discovered that the compressive strength for all composition meet the recommended value to light structural of 6.89 MPa as prescribed in SNI 03-3449-2002. In the same manner density of light concrete brick for all proportion under the maximum density recommended value of 1400 Kg/m3 according to SNI 03-3449-2002. While water absorption capacity of increased by the increasing use of ashes. Therefore, palm oil fuel ash from boiler can be used as raw material for the light concrete brick which is  environmental friendly because using solid waste and also an alternative handling solid waste.ABSTRAKPenelitian pemanfaatan limbah padat abu cangkang dan serat kelapa sawit dari boiler sebagai bahan baku pembuatan bata beton ringan telah dilakukan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah pemanfaatan limbah padat abu boiler berbahan bakar cangkang dan serat sebagai bahan pembuatan bata beton ringan sebagai salah satu alternatif pengelolaan lingkungan yang bekelanjutan. Dalam penelitian ini, bata beton ringan dibuat dengan berbagai komposisi abu boiler dan pasir yang diproduksi dalam  skala laboratorium. Persentase dari abu berturut-turut 0% sebagai kontrol, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% dan 60% mensubtitusi pasir, sedangkan bahan lain yaitu semen, kapur, gypsum,  foaming  agent serta aluminium pasta dengan jumlah tetap. Mutu bata beton ringan yang diujikan adalah kuat tekan, bobot jenis dan daya serap air. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kuat tekan untuk semua komposisi memenuhi batas minimum yang dipersyaratkan untuk stuktural ringan yaitu 6,89 MPa sesuai SNI 03-3449-2002. Demikian pula bobot jenis dari bata ringan yang dihasilkan masih dibawah dari batas maksimum yang direkomendasikan SNI 03-3449-2002 yaitu maksimal 1400 Kg/m3. Sedangkan daya serap air mengalami kenaikan dengan naiknya jumlah abu yang digunakan . Limbah padat abu boiler berbahan bakar cangkang dan serat sawit dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan bata beton ringan yang ramah lingkungan dengan memanfaatkan limbah dan menjadi salah satu alternatif pengelolaan limbah. Kata kunci :  Abu cangkang kelapa sawit,  bata beton ringan, bobot jenis,  daya serap air,  limbah,  kuat tekan
