This study aims to determine the effect of rice husk as a source of substitute fuel on the manufacture of cement at the industry scale. The parameters tested include the physical properties of the cement consisting of the Blain fineness test, false set, cement setting time, and mortar compressive strength at 3, 7, and 28 days. The average values for the results of these tests on cement produced using rice husks as a substitute fuel were 380 m2/kg, 81%, 132 minutes, 253 minutes, and 225, 298, and 379 kg/cm2, respectively. Based on the test results, we have shown that rice husk ash has a good effect on the characteristics of cement type I which still meet the standards of SNI-2049-2015.

In today’s world, the implementation of industrial ecology for sustainable industrial development is a common practice in the field of engineering. This practice promotes the recycling of by-product wastes. One of those by-product wastes is rice husk ash. This paper describes an investigation into the effect of rice husk ash (RHA) as a partial replacement for cement, to produce lightweight, aerated concrete. Type I Portland cement, fine aggregate, and aluminum powder as an aerating agent were used in this study. The RHA was used in different replacement levels, i.e., RHA was used to replace cement at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15% by weight. Aluminum powder was added during mixing at 0.5% by weight of binder to obtain lightweight, aerated concrete. Test results are presented in terms of physical, mechanical, and durability aspects that include density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of concrete cured at different curing regimes, i.e., 3, 7, 28, and 90 days along with corrosion analysis, and sulphate attack at 28 days of curing. The test results show that using 10% RHA as a partial replacement of cement in aerated concrete is beneficial in triggering the strength and durability properties of concrete.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the usability of mycelium-based materials for construction, first tests were carried out to determine their suitability for thermal insulation. Different substrate compositions were tested for various physical properties. The compositions and experimental setups used are described in the “Methods” section. Results: Materials based on fungal mycelium were found to have promising properties for use in the construction sector. Their thermal conductivities are comparable to those of commercially available ecological insulation materials. As material properties turned out to be dependent on the substrate used for the production of mycelium materials, further optimisation is required. Conclusion: For first preliminary tests [1] to study the performance of mycelium-based materials, different additives (beech wood, rice husks, coffee silver skin, perlite rock) were added to a base substrate to determine their influence on physical properties. Compared to the characteristics of conventional thermal insulation materials, the test results obtained are rather promising and confirm suitability of mycelium-based materials for building. However, further systematic studies are needed to investigate options to improve major properties and to ensure reproducibility of mycelium materials with largely homogeneous properties.

The synthesis of silica particles from rice husk is a research based on natural materials and is classified as green material. Preparation of biosilica catalyst from calcined rice husk ash was carried out by the hydrothermal method using rice husk ash mixed with NaOH solution at a ratio of 1:5 (w/v) with the reaction temperature of 110-120°C, the pressure of 0.15-0.2 MPa for 15-30 minutes. Biosilica results are then continued with the calcination process at a temperature of 200-500°C for one hour. Biosilica with calcination is then compared to biosilica without calcination. These two kinds of biosilica are then characterized to determine their performance. The biosilica characteristic test that was carried out included X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The XRF test results show that biosilica with calcination process has higher silica and silica oxide content than that without calcination. The surface morphology of biosilica with calcination and without calcination gives an uneven surface and consists of lumps and with uneven distribution on the surface of the biosilica sample. Biosilica with calcination process has a larger surface area, pore volume, and radius than biosilica without calcination process.

Abstract. Kaolin native to Jilin Province was calcined at the constant temperature of 750°C for 4 hours to obtain the high pozzolanic metakaolin(Al2Si2O7). The effects of metakaolin (MK) on the static flow expansion of cement paste and the workability and setting time of concrete were studied with the content of 0, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of cementitious material. The test results show that: when the dosage of superplasticizer is 2% by weight of cementitious material, the setting time of concrete shortens obviously and the slump and expansion decrease with the raising of MK content. When 5% of cement is replaced by MK, the setting time of concrete shortens by 5%; the slump and the slump flow decrease by 5.5% and 4.4% respectively.

Abstract Fly Ash, Rice Husk Ash and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Plastic Waste also contribute to environmental problems. Starting from the problem of CO2 emissions to ecosystem damage due to the accumulation of waste on the earth’s surface. Therefore, this study focuses on the use of Fly Ash, Rice husk ash and LLDPE Powder as a mixture of Alkaline-Activated Mortar. In this study, Fly Ash as a Pozzolanic Material mixed with Alkaline Activator Solution serves as a binder for Mortar. Rice husk ash is used as a substitute material for Fly ash while LLDPE powder functions as a substitute material for sand. The percentage of LLDPE powder used in the mortar mixture is from 0 to 15% of the total weight of the mixture. While the percentage of rice husk ash used in the mixture is 7%, Alkali Activator Solution 27% and Sand ranging from 24.5 to 39.5%. There are six variations of the mortar specimen (AAMP1, AAMP2, AAMP3, AAMP4, AAMP5, AAMP6). Initial setting time testing is done on binder mortar. The mortar compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days after curing the oven at temperatures of 40°C and 60°C. From the test results obtained the highest compressive strength of 11.3 MPa on the AAMP6 test object with a curing temperature of 60°C where the percentage of LLDPE powder on the specimen is 15%. The core of the longest setting time is in the AAMP6 Alkaline-Activated Mortar binder variation, which is 180 minutes.

The aim of this study was to gain information about the effect of thermal treatment of calcium silicate-based sealers. BioRoot RCS (BR), Total Fill BC Sealer (TFBC), and Total Fill BC Sealer HiFlow (TFHF) were exposed to thermal treatment at 37 °C, 47 °C, 57 °C, 67 °C, 77 °C, 87 °C and 97 °C for 30 s. Heat treatment at 97 °C was performed for 60 and 180 s to simulate inappropriate application of warm obturation techniques. Thereafter, specimens were cooled to 37 °C and physical properties (setting time/flow/film thickness according to ISO 6876) were evaluated. Chemical properties (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) were assessed after incubation of the specimens in an incubator at 37 °C and 100% humidity for 8 weeks. Statistical analysis of physical properties was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis-Test (P = 0.05). The setting time, flow, and film thickness of TFBC and TFHF were not relevantly influenced by thermal treatment. Setting time of BR decreased slightly when temperature of heat application increased from 37 °C to 77 °C (P < 0.05). Further heat treatment of BR above 77 °C led to an immediate setting. FT-IR spectroscopy did not reveal any chemical changes for either sealers. Thermal treatment did not lead to any substantial chemical changes at all temperature levels, while physical properties of BR were compromised by heating. TFBC and TFHF can be considered suitable for warm obturation techniques.
