Evaluation of Rice Husk Ash from Different Rice Varieties from Nigeria: Silica Content and Lethality to Two Storage Beetles

Utilization of rice husks in Indonesia in general is still very limited. Utilization of silica contained in rice husk ash, which has been used, among others, in the manufacture of sodium silicate. Silica compounds themselves can be used in and manufacturing basic materials for electronic and ceramic equipment, glass, rubber, cosmetic products, and pharmaceuticals. The addition of Mg can increase the silica content (SiO2) in rice husk ash. The best results show an effective Mg ratio of Mg addition to increase silica content is 1: 1. produces the highest amount of silica which is 58.12% of the rice husk ash with a size of 140 mesh

<p>Agricultural waste such as rice straw, rice husk and rice husk ash have not been utilized properly. This waste of agricultural produce can actually be used as an alternative to bionanofiller because it contains an excellent source of silica. The silica content contained in the rice waste when combined with the polymer matrix can produce composites having high thermal and mechanical properties. Characterization of bionanofiller from this rice waste is done by SEM, XRF, FTIR, XRD and particle density. The result of SEM analysis from this rice waste is feasible to be used as filler because it has size 1 μm. Likewise with the results of XRF analysis that rice waste contains a high enough silica component that is 80.6255% - 89.83%. FTIR test results also show that bionanoparticles from rice waste have the same content of silica. In the XRD analysis the best selective gain of rice waste is found in rice husk ash which is characteristic of amorp silica at a range of 2ϴ = 22<br />. The largest density analysis of paddy waste was found in rice husk 0.0419 gr / cm , followed by rice straw by of 0.0417 gr / cm 3 and rice hulk ash 0.0407 g / cm 3</p>

Malaysia has a great potential to reuse the agro-waste and reduce the environmental issues generated from the painting industry and agro-waste and achieve the objective of sustainable development. The objective of this work is to analyse physical effects of different blending ratio of rice husk ash based geopolymer binder (GB) surface coating on the hardness of mild steel and plywood. Geopolymer is an inorganic material produced by activated alkaline solution and aluminosilicate sources. Since Malaysia has been producing abundant of rice husk, this rice husk as the aluminosilicate source is used to form geopolymer. As it is known that filler is one of the combinations in paint including epoxy paint, the rice husk ash which has an abundant of silica content can be a ground-breaking source. Thus, an efficient eco-friendly coating that have a good fire resistance properties are very demanding. An optimum coating was formed by optimizing different ratio of GB with water-based or oil- based paint in term of hardness of surface coated. Based on the Rockwell hardness test, the result showed that 2:1 ratio of water-based coated mild steel plate has the highest Rockwell hardness number of 53.08, which meant the lowest depth of impression of 0.1538mm due to 150kgf major and minor load. This implies that different blending ratios addition of GB on plate surface have an effect on the hardness of mild steel and plywood

The presence of heavy metal mercury (Hg2+) in liquid waste has caused serious problems to environmental pollution. One of the most effective method to reduce the levels of heavy metals mercury (Hg2+) in liquid waste is adsorption. Rice husk ash is highly potential to adsorb heavy metals in water because it is a porous material with a high silica content. Therefore, rice husk ash can be used as an adsorbent for heavy metals in liquid waste. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of mercury (Hg2+) that can be adsorbed from the column adsorption process using adsorbent of rice husk ash and to determine the optimum mass of rice husk ash as an adsorbent. The research was conducted using a series of simple adsorption column tools with a circulation time of 120 minutes. While the independent variables were adsorbent particle size of 50, 100, and 200 mesh. Measurement of mercury (Hg2+) levels was carried out on samples before and after treatment with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed a significant decrease in Hg2+ levels with the optimum adsorbent particle size of 200 mesh. The value of the adsorbed Hg2+ ion content reached 101.670 mg/L in the adsorption process using adsorbent with 200 mesh particle size .

Rice husks (RH) are agricultural wastes available abundantly in rice producing country. A by-product obtained from combustion of rice husk is rice husk ash (RHA) which is rich in silica (SiO2) contents. This paper focused on the effect of acid leaching treatment on rice husk to produce high-purity silica. There are 4 different states of conditions involved; raw rice husk (RRH), treated rice husk (TRH), rice husk ash (RHA), and treated rice husk ash (TRHA). Citric acid; C6H8O7 was used as a leaching agent. TRH and TRHA was leached to see whether treated rice husk before combustion (TRH) or treated rice husk after combustion (TRHA) will produce more high-purity silica. Chemical composition analysis shows high amorphous silica content which is 98.47% with low metallic impurities at 1.0M C6H8O7, 70 oC for treated rice husk (TRH). X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows the presence of amorphous silica in treated rice husk (TRH) and crystalline silica in treated rice husk ash (TRHA). Fragmentation of TRH into small pieces after acid leaching is seen where there is significant increase in the exposed surface areas. High-purity amorphous silica with more than 98% was prepared via citric acid leaching treatment and combustion process.

Mineral Fillers

In the last few decades, the demand for cement production increased and caused a massive ecological issue by emitting 8% of the global CO2, as the making of 1 ton of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) emits almost a single ton of CO2. Significant air pollution and damage to human health are associated with the construction and cement industries. Consequently, environmentalists and governments have ordered to strongly control emission rates by using other ecofriendly supplemental cementing materials. Rice husk is a cultivated by-product material, obtained from the rice plant in enormous quantities. With no beneficial use, it is an organic waste material that causes dumping issues. Rice husk has a high silica content that makes it appropriate for use in OPC; burning it generates a high pozzolanic reactive rice husk ash (RHA) for renewable cement-based recyclable material. Using cost-effective and commonly obtainable RHA as mineral fillers in concrete brings plentiful advantages to the technical characteristics of concrete and to ensure a clean environment. With RHA, concrete composites that are robust, highly resistant to aggressive environments, sustainable and economically feasible can be produced. However, the production of sustainable and greener concrete composites also has become a key concern in the construction industries internationally. This article reviews the source, clean production, pozzolanic activity and chemical composition of RHA. This literature review also provides critical reviews on the properties, hardening conditions and behaviors of RHA-based concrete composites, in addition to summarizing the research recent findings, to ultimately produce complete insights into the possible applications of RHA as raw building materials for producing greener concrete composites—all towards industrializing ecofriendly buildings.

Firstly cement hydration, pozzolanic reactions of pozzolan and stoichiometry were reviewed. Then the optimum fractional replacement of cement by pozzolan based on the complete consumption of calcium hydroxide and the strength activity index (SAI) were formulated and proposed. After that the results of a series of tests of cement mortars were shown to verify the proposed concepts. The applicability for the mass concrete production was demonstrated by prediction of mean values of nonnormal distributions from the corresponding specifications.
