This examination researches the appropriateness of waste materials i.e., sawdust and rice husk as a filler materials in bitumen. The waste materials (Rice husk and Saw dust) were tried to decide its appropriateness in the bitumen asphalt. The suggestions are surmised upon the Marshall and volumetric properties. Reuse of waste item is perfect to lessen contamination, since transfer is diminished or dispensed with. In this examination, Rice husk and saw residue waste was ground utilizing a pounding ball to shape a fine powder. It was then sieved in 300µm. At the research center, Rice husk and saw residue were blended in with bitumen to supplant 5%, 10%, and 15% of the all the weight ,while 0% addressed the control test. The Penetration test, Softening Point test, Flash and Fire Point test, Viscosity test, Ductility test and Marshall Stability test were looked into in this examination on the mix degree on bitumen in with rice husk and saw dust. Rice husk and Sawdust were incorporated into bitumen and perfect rate is gotten the chance to improve the presentation of bitumen.

This study presents the use of waste polythene derived as carry bags from kitchen waste and pond liner polyethelene as LDPE and bottle caps as HDPE as an additive in flexible pavements. In this study we will also add a fix percentage of zykotherm.  Purposes of using above materials are to utilize environmentally unacceptable waste material and to develop a better material mix to resist increased traffic load and temperature effect resulting cracks in the pavement surface. In the proposed study the plastic waste will be cleaned and cut into a size such that it passes through 2-3mm sieve using shredding machine. In this study Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) mix will be proposed to prepare by using plain bitumen as a control specimen and bitumen mixed with LDPE 2% and 4% & HDPE 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%) as by weight, with fixed percentage of Zykotherm as 1.5% by weight.Bitumen content is 4.5% by weight for all specimen. The Marshall Stability test, Penetration Test, and softening point test, were conducted on control and modified DBM mixes.

Population Urbanization

The use of plastic and related materials is increasing exponentially due to tremendous growth in population, urbanization and changed life style leads to widespread littering of plastic on the landscape. Disposal of waste plastic is a serious problem globally due to their non-biodegradability and hazardous to human healths, since these are not disposed scientifically and thus, create ground and water. If this curse to mankind in the form of waste plastic is used as a boon for mankind by using it as additives in road construction, it will proved to be a best solution over worst road condition. In the present paper techniques has been developed to use plastic waste for construction of bituminous roads and flexible pavements. In general bitumen is used as binder in road construction. Binding properties of this bitumen can be modified by blending it with waste plastic pieces. It can be used for construction purpose.

Recycled Waste

Recycled waste materials obtained from industrial and agricultural processes are becoming promising thermal and acoustic insulating solutions in building applications; their use can play an important role in the environmental impact reduction. The aim of the present paper is the evaluation of the thermal performance of recycled waste panels consisting of cork scraps, rice husk, coffee chaff, and end-life granulated tires, glued in different weight ratios and pressed. Six panels obtained from the mixing of these waste materials were fabricated and analyzed. In particular, the scope is the selection of the best compromise solutions from the thermal and environmental points of view. To this aim, thermal resistances were measured in laboratory and a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis was carried out for each panel; a cross-comparative examination was performed in order to optimize their properties and find the best panels solutions to be assembled in the future. Life Cycle Analysis was carried out in terms of primary Embodied Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, considering a ‘‘cradle-to-gate” approach. The obtained thermal conductivities varied in the 0.055 to 0.135 W/mK range, in the same order of magnitude of many traditional systems. The best thermal results were obtained for the panels made of granulated cork, rice husk, and coffee chaff in this order. The rubber granulate showed higher values of the thermal conductivity (about 0.15 W/mK); a very interesting combined solution was the panel composed of cork (60%), rice husk (20%), and coffee chaff (20%), with a thermal conductivity of 0.08 W/mK and a Global Warming Potential of only 2.6 kg CO2eq/m2. Considering the Embodied Energy (CED), the best solution is a panel composed of 56% of cork and 44% of coffee chaff (minimum CED and thermal conductivity).

Aging is one of the main contributors for asphalt failure. Oxidation aging is the main cause of long-term deterioration in asphalt pavements as a pavement ages, oxidation stiffens a pavement, making it more susceptible to failure from load and thermal stresses. Slowing a pavement’s oxidative aging would maintain its elastic properties and delay aging problems. There is no performance enhancer in widespread use, acting as an antioxidant that slows the oxidative aging of asphalt binder. The main objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of using biomass powder derived from rice husks as an antioxidant additive to control the asphalt age hardening. The waste of rice husks was dried at 40°C for 9–11 days. The dried materials was grounded, and sieved to get fine powder. To evaluate the performance of the antioxidant, samples have to be aged according to SUPERPAVE standards (RTFOT and PAV) and physical, chemical, and rheological properties have to be analyzed. The preliminary results of penetration test softening point test shows that adding 4% of rice husks’ powder to 80/100 binder didn’t change the grade of the binder.

Water Hyacinth Fiber

At present, waste generation is fast-growing around the world due to the increasing of population. Therefore, recycling end-of life materials for sustainable and cleaner production is becoming a major target worldwide. The recycling waste materials is trend toward for many industries to reduce both the consumption of natural resources and the cost of products while protecting the environment from the harmful effects of waste materials. Adding water hyacinth fiber, banana fiber and eggshell powder can increase physical-mechanical-thermal properties of concrete. Concrete with/without adding 0, 0.02 and 0.05 wt% bio-filler via hydration reaction affects to good physical-mechanical-thermal properties. Especially adding 0.05 wt% eggshell powder into concrete has the highest compressive strength (22.08 ± 0.66 MPa) and lowest water absorption (1.62 ± 0.16 %) better than those of concrete without adding bio-filler. Furthermore, adding 0.05 wt% water hyacinth fiber affects to obtain the highest tensile strength equal to 187.63 ± 28.45 MPa. The obtained concrete added bio-filler samples have potential to be used as a good insulation material and building material due to low density, low water absorption, low price, good mechanical and thermal insulation.

The Cost

One hundred eighty straight run day old Cobb-500 broilers were reared on rice husk, sawdust, wood shaving and chopped tea leaves litter up to 35 days of age. The broilers were fed ad libitum. At 35 days the body weight of chicken reared on sawdust attained the highest body weight (p<0.01) than other litters. FCR was the best on saw dust. The moisture content of different litters did not differ significantly. Oocyst population in rice husk was found to be higher (p<0.01) than those on other litters, except those reared on wood shaving. Moisture content of litters and oocyst population were positively correlated at 14 and 35 days and negatively correlated at 21 and 28 days of age. The litter cost per broiler and per kg broiler was the highest on rice husk (RH), intermediate on sawdust (SD), Wood shavings (WS) and the lowest on chopped fallen tea leaves (CFTL). It was concluded that it may be possible to minimize the cost of litter by using CFTL.http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v41i1.11978
