Abstract The present project proposes to utilize rice husk and maize cob husk ash in the cement to mitigate the adverse impact of cement on environment and to enhance the disposal of waste in a sustainable manner. Ternary concrete / MR concrete was prepared by using rise husk and maize cob ash with cement. For the present project, five concrete mixes MR-0 (Control mix), MR-1 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-2.5%), MR-2 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-5%), MR-3 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-2.5%), MR-4 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-2.5%) were prepared. M35 concrete mix was designed as per IS 10262:2009 for low slump values 0-25mm. The purpose is to find the optimum replacement level of cement in M35 grade ternary concrete for I – Shaped paver blocks.In order to study the effects of these additions, micro-structural and structural properties test of concretes have been conducted. The crystalline properties of control mix and modified concrete are analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that 10% Rice husk ash and 5% maize cob ash replaced with cement produce a desirable quality of ternary concrete mix having good compressive strength. The results of SEM analysis indicated that the morphology of both concrete were different, showing porous structure at 7 days age and become unsymmetrical with the addition of ashes. After 28 day age, the control mix contained more quantity of ettringite and became denser than ternary concrete. XRD analysis revealed the presence of portlandite in large quantity in controlled mix concrete while MR concrete had the partially hydrated particle of alite.

The use of agricultural waste has become a necessity due to its high environmental cost. As an example of this, we have rice husk ash (CCA), produced by the indiscriminate burning of rice husk, as well as the need to look for alternatives to reuse the waste sustainably, either by applying it to nanomaterials or by extracting SiO2 present in rice husk ash. This study addresses the use of characterization techniques for rice husk ash residue, showing the quality of SiO2 present in the residue.

Abstract Salt farmers in Indonesia generally carry out simple land processing to produce NaCl levels below 90% and productivity below 80 tons/ha. Several separate efforts have been made to increase the quantity and quality of salt in traditional salt production systems. This work examines the threaded system, additive addition, and geomembrane to increase salt production in Ambulu Village, Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. The result showed that the quality of salt increases compared to the traditional process. The quality of the salt can be improved. The traditional method of observation contains 91% NaCl. Using a combination of Threaded applications and additives increases the NaCl content by up to 94%. Adding Geomembrane technology from the two previous technologies resulted in salt with a NaCl content of 96%. At the same time, the amount of salt production from Indonesia has also increased to 155 tons/ha, compared to the traditional method, which is 80-90 tons/ha.

The residual RHA from Vietnam is used to test the likely application in cement and concrete. The characteristics, quality and influence of RHA on the quality of concrete are investigated in this investigation. The workability, strength and durability of concrete added with ground RHA satisfy with the relevant standards and requirements. It indicates that the ground RHA in this study can be used as a good supplementary cementious material. Therefore, it is possible to obtain RHA concrete with comparable properties than those of the control specimen (without RHA) with a lower consumption of cement, thus reducing the CO2 emissions during the production of cement and the environmental and disposal problem of the ash can also be diminished. Moreover, while the results will be able to substantiate the viability of application of RHA in concrete industry under the prevailing conditions in Vietnam, they are also expected to be especially useful for future studies on RHA in a specific condition in this country.

This laboratory-scale study explored the use of rice husk ash (RHA) as absorbent to stabilize and solidify the simulated agricultural cultivation wastewater. Various factors including the shaking time, solution pH, the dosage of absorbents and the temperature of the heating were taken into account and promising results obtained. The results showed that the RHA at 300°C of heating temperature has a better efficiency on the removal of COD and NH3-N. The initial solution PH of 5~6 was most favorable for COD and NH3-N removal. The removal rate of COD and NH3-N is nearly 25% and 18% respectively under the conditions of the pH=5.5, shaking time of 30 minutes and quality of RHA of 6.0g. The results suggested that absorption treatment of simulated agricultural cultivation wastewater with RHA is an effective method to remove the COD and NH3-N.
