Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The evaluation of agro-industrial by-products as alternative construction materials is becoming more significant as the demand for environmentally friendly construction materials increases. In this study, the workability and compressive strength of concrete produced by combining Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) was investigated. Concrete mixes using a fixed content of 15% RHA as replacement for cement and 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% PKS as replacement for crushed granite by volume with the mix ratios of 1:1½:3, 1:2:4 and 1:3:6 were produced. The water-to-cement ratios of 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 were used for the respective mix ratios. Concrete without PKS and RHA served as control mix. The fresh concrete workability was evaluated through slump test. The concrete hardened properties determined were the density and compressive strength. The results indicated that the workability and density of PKSC were lower than control concrete, and they decreased as the PKS content in each mix ratio was increased. The compressive strength of concrete at 90 days decreased from 27.8-13.1 N/mm2, 23.8-8.9 N/mm2and 20.6-7.6 for 1:1½:3, 1:2:4 and 1:3:6, respectively as the substitution level of PKS increased from 0-100%. However, the compressive strength of concrete increased with curing age and the gain in strength of concrete containing RHA and PKSC were higher than the control at the later age. The concrete containing 15% RHA with up to 40% PKS for 1:1½:3 and 20% PKS for 1:2:4 mix ratios satisfied the minimum strength requirements for structural lightweight aggregate concrete (SLWAC) stipulated by the relevant standards. It can be concluded that the addition of 15% RHA is effective in improving the strength properties of PKSC for eco-friendly SLWAC production..

Combustion Processes

As already known, cement production is one of the biggest contributors to CO2 emissions due to combustion processes that require high temperatures. This can trigger global warming so the solutions to reduce or even eliminate the use of cement continue to be developed. Geopolymer concrete is one solution to reduce the use of cement in the construction industry in the world. This study has the main objective to examine the effect of the use of palm kernel shell and ash rice husk ash in geopolymer concrete mixes on the strength of geopolymer concrete then compared with the use of palm kernel shell ash and rice husk ash on Portland cement concrete. In this study concluded that increasing the strength of geopolymer concrete with the use of palm kernel shell ash and rice husk ash tends to be insignificant when compared to the increase in strength in Portland cement concrete. The changes in the concentration of NaOH solution is more effective to increase the strength of geopolymer concrete.

Effects of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as coupling agent on thermal properties of Polypropylene/Palm Kernal Shell (PP/PKS) biocomposites were studied. PKS with different filler loading (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt %) were added into polypropylene matrix and were compounded using hot melt blending method. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) result shows a higher thermal stability of amino silane modified fillers (10% filler loading). Percentage of crystallinity for PP/PKS composites increased after adding amino silane due to better dispersion of filler and the ability of coupling agent to enhance compatibility between PKS and polypropylene hence it increases the nucleation site.

This research was aimed to a present the physical and thermal properties of geopolymer pastes made of fly ash (FA) and bagasse ash (BA) with rice husk ash (RHA) containing at the doses of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by weight. The sodium hydroxide concentration of 15 molars, sodium silicate per sodium hydroxide by weight ratio of 2.0, the alkaline liquid per binder at the ratio of 0.60 and curing at ambient temperature were used at the to mix all mixtures to gether for 7 and 28 days. The properties analysis of the geopolymer pastes such as compressive strength, bulk density, water absorption, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and thermal capacity were tested. The results were indicated that geopolymer pastes that containing rice husk ash 2% by weight for 28 days of curing gave the maximum compressive strength of 84.42 kg/cm2, low water absorption of 1.16 %, low bulk density of 2,065.71 kg/cm3, lower thermal conductivity of 1.1173 W/m.K, lower thermal diffusion of 6.643 µm2/s and lower thermal capacity of 1.6819 MJ/m3K, respectively. The utilization of waste from agriculture industry via geopolymer pastes for green building materials can be achieved. For this research, physical properties and thermal insulation of geopolymer pastes were siqnificantly improved.

Moulding Sand

Moulding properties of foundry sand should be controlled so as to minimize casting defects. Its thermal characteristics are vital in defining the solidification kinetics of a cast part,  evolving microstructure and mechanical properties. Modification of the thermal properties of the moulding sand mix is important in achieving desired structure and mechanical properties in the cast component. This study investigates the incorporation of 2-12 wt. % aluminium dross (AlDr) and 1-6 wt. % rice husk ash (RHA) in silica sand on moulding and thermal properties of the resulting sand mix. Results show that RHA significantly reduced thermal conductivity of the moulding sand from 1.631-1.141 W/m. K (a 30% reduction).However, AlDr increased its thermal conductivity from 1.631-1.787 W/m.K for 1-6 wt. % AlDr, which later dropped progressively from 1.753-1.540 W/m.K for 8-12 wt. %. The moisture content increased abruptly from 4.0-4.2 % for 6-8 wt. % AlDr addition but decreased from 4.0-2.8% for0-6 wt. % RHA addition in the moulding sand mix. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.19

ABSTRACT The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of rice husk ash and wollastonite microfibers incorporation, added per clay partial substituition, on physical and thermal properties of refractory ceramic composites. The raw materials characterization occurred with respect to their chemical composition (XRF), phase composition (XRD) and granulometry by laser. The composites were avaluated by physical properties - apparent porosity, bulk density, water absorption, linear retraction after sinterization and mass variation - and thermal properties - thermal conductivity and thermal shock. The rice husk ash used in the present work proved to have potential as a ceramic precursor in the development of refractories. The clay substitution per ash and the microfiber different percentages resulted in an increase in water absorption and apparent porosity and a reduction in the linear retraction. The increase in porosity suggests that the mullitization was insufficient. Regarding the thermal performance, the thermal conductivity was inversely proportional to the porosity and the microfiber percentage. In addition, the higher the thermal-shock temperature gradient the lower was the number of cycles resisted by the composites.
