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

Higher content of silica in geopolymer coating resulted in better thermal properties. Since rice husk ash (RHA) has the highest silica content compared to other aluminosilicate sources available, it offers the best potential to be an alternative silica source in producing geopolymer coating binder. In this study, five factors including ratio of alkaline activator (AA) (A), ratio of RHA/AA (B), curing temperature (C), curing time (D) and concentration of NaOH (E) were analyzed using statistical analysis to identify the significant factors that mostly influence fire retardant performance of RHA-based geopolymer coating. The fire retardant tests were conducted and results recorded included (i) time taken to reach 300°C and (ii) temperature at equilibrium. Sample S7 (coating composition of A=5.5, B=0.3, C=50°C, D=7days, E=8M) which produced the best fire retardant performance was selected for further detailed investigation using thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the back temperature of mild steel plate of sample S7 reached 300°C after 17 minutes and achieved an equilibrium state at 398°C. SEM micrographs showed the presence of needle-like structures formed after fire test might be the reason for the best fire performance of sample S7.

<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>

This study investigates the possibility of using rice husk ash as an additive to develop an environmentally friendly and low-cost drilling fluid system. The rice husk ash was added as an additive to water-based bentonite drilling fluids at different concentrations ranging from 2 wt% to 15 wt%. Rheological and filtration properties of each drilling fluid developed were measured by using a viscometer and standard low-pressure low-temperature filter press. Subsequently, cutting carrying index, minimum annulus velocity required to clean bottom of the well efficiently, flow behaviour index and permeability of mud cakes of the formulated systems were calculated in order to assess performance of the systems. The results demonstrated that the rheological and properties were improved depending on concentration of rice husk ash introduced. With the introduction of 15 wt% concentration of rice husk ash, while apparent viscosity and yield point increased by 60% and 183%, respectively, thixotropy and plastic viscosity decreased by 29% and 63%, respectively. On the other hand, drilling fluid with 4% wt% content of rice husk ash reduced the fluid loss by 10%. Moreover, results showed that cutting carrying index, minimum annulus velocity required to clean bottom of the well efficiently and flow behaviour index of the enhanced with the exploitation of rice husk ash in the drilling fluid. This study showed that rice husk ash as a promising additive to use in the water-based bentonite drilling fluids when properly implemented, and hence reducing the impact on the environment, and the total cost for drilling.

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.
