Cement industry has a great contribution to CO2 emissions in the world. In order to reduce the levels of CO2 emissions and the consequences of global warming, some researches have been developed aiming to reduce the cement volume produced through mineral mixtures. Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) represents an important environmental liability of the alcohol industry in the northern state of Rio de Janeiro and its use as a partial replacement of Portland cement in concrete has shown great potential for use. This paper aims to analyze, through experimental procedures, the consistency and mechanic strength on concrete with low environmental impact, made from sugarcane bagasse ash, in substitution levels of 20% and 40%. The methodology of the experimental program, included the steps of characterizing the materials; definition of the reference concrete; molding and dosing of the reference concrete and concrete with SCBA; mechanical tests to evaluate the resistance in the reference test bodies; and analysis of the results. The method used from production and processing of the ash to the characterization of other materials in the concrete are also addressed in this study. The results indicate the feasibility of using sugarcane bagasse ashes in application of concretes in the construction industry.

As stated in the European Commission’s waste framework directive, the geographic proximity of wastes to the potential recovery/disposal site is of paramount importance in attaining an effective resource recycling paradigm. The global interest in achieving an end-of-waste scenario encourages the recovery of useful products/secondary raw materials from locally available waste materials. Sugarcane bagasse ash is an abundantly available waste (44,200 tonnes day–1) from sugar plants in India which has the potential to be used as a partial replacement to cement in ready-mix concrete plants. Although pozzolanic performance of sugarcane bagasse ash and its ability in reducing the carbon emissions associated with concrete production have been reported in earlier research studies, its use in concrete is hindered due to the lack of availability and accessibility data. In this study, the geographical distribution of sugar plants and the available quantity of sugarcane bagasse ash in India have been determined. In addition, a detailed network analysis using a geographic information system was conducted to quantify the geographic proximity of bagasse ash, fly ash and slag sources to ready-mix concrete plants. The study results indicate that for most of the ready-mix concrete plants in India, the probability of having a bagasse ash source in proximity is higher than the probability of encountering slag/fly ash sources.

Due to the concern with the environmental impacts caused by the gases emitted by the cement industry and by the inadequate disposal of wastes generated in the sugar-alcohol industry, such as sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), a search for the development of new technologies, which are less aggressive to the environment and that propose feasible alternatives, began in order to reuse these wastes properly. Among these alternatives is the reuse of SCBA as partial replacement to cement or as addition to cementitious matrices. In this way, the present research has the objective of analyzing the influence of SCBA obtained by the calcination of sugarcane bagasse (SCB), at 600°C, in the process of Portland cement hydration. Initially, the SCBA was characterized physically, chemically and mineralogically, and then cement pastes with 20% and 35% substitution contents were elaborated, besides the reference paste, which were analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric (TG) techniques. The results obtained show that there is a consumption of portlandite as a consequence of the use of SCBA, evidencing the pozolanicity of these ashes. In the pastes with 35% substitution content, there was an intense consumption of the portlandite, indicating, in this proportion, the pozzolanic reaction was more intense.

Use of agro and industrial wastes in concrete production will cause sustainable concrete era and greener habitat. In this study an endeavor has been made to discover the propriety of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Granite Waste (GW) as partial replacement for traditional river sand. The percentage substitute is calculated based on the particle packing approach. The properties such as compressive, splitting tensile, flexural strengths and modulus of elasticity, water absorption, sorptivity and rapid chloride penetration test of the concrete with bagasse ash and granite waste as a partial replacement for river sand and to evaluate them with those of conventional concrete made with river sand fine aggregate are investigated. The test results show that the strength aspects of bagasse ash-granite waste concrete are higher than those of the conventional concrete. Moreover, they suggest that the bagasse ash-granite waste concrete has higher strength characteristics and remains in the lower permeability level shows improvement in overall durability of concrete than the conventional concrete.

Abstract The research developed has the purpose of analyzing the potential utilization of sugarcane bagasse ash and tire residue in the construction of pavers in replacement of the small aggregate, the natural sand. In order to achieve this objective, the methodology adopted includes steps such as: characterization of the residues to be used, preparation of pavers with different contents of partial replacement of small aggregates, determination of the main pavers characteristics (compressive strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance) . The results proved the viability of the substitution, and the optimum content for the manufacturing of the parts is 27%, being 25% of BCC and 2% of tires. The contribution of the research is focused on reducing the consumption of natural resources and the correct disposal of the residues studied.

This paper presents an experimental program objectifying at investigating the potential of the use of sugarcane bagasse ash as a partial replacement of cement in the production of mortars. Sugarcane bagasse ashes from two origins were studied - one from sugarcane industry directly and other from pizzerias that uses this material replacing the wood in their ovens. The methodology followed the characterization of the material, where it was carried out through laboratory tests using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) and initial tests for the ideal quantification of cement substitution by residues. Results obtained indicated that both residues exhibited pozolanic features presenting about 60% of amorphous material in their composition and compressive strength tests at different ages showed satisfactory results. Concluding that residues played an important role in increasing short and long term compressive strengths.

Cost Of Construction

The utilization of the industrial waste products leads to the development of sustainable concrete. The use of industrial and agricultural waste in the construction industries not only reduces the consumption of natural resources but also nuisance of these waste materials. They not only reduce the cost of construction but also save the environment due to their sustainable disposal solution. Researchers are trying to find out the alternate materials of cement in concrete production to minimize the emission of carbon dioxide during cement manufacturing. Sugarcane bagasse ash is the fibrous agricultural waste material which is produced in enormous quantities in India and obtained as a result of combustion of sugarcane bagasse in the boilers at high temperatures. The ash contains large amount of silica and therefore can be used as a substitution of cement. In the present study, sugarcane bagasse ash is used as a partial replacement of cement by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of cement.

Red Ceramics

In the municipal area of Campos dos Goytacazes–RJ several ceramic industries are involved with a significant production of bricks and tiles. These ceramic products can serve as matrices for the incorporation of industrial residues such as the ash of sugarcane bagasse used as fuel in the boilers of the sugar and alcohol plants. The incorporation of ashes in ceramics is a solution that eventually can cause an improvement on the properties of the material. The objective of this work is to characterize granulometric fractions of sugarcane bagasse ash with particle sizes less than 149, 75 and 44 μm aiming at the ash incorporation into red ceramics. Chemical, mineralogical and microstructural characterization were carried out in the granulometric fractions. The results showed that the granulometric fractions present as main crystalline phase the cristobalite and that the ashes with smaller particle sizes can improve the densification of the ceramic body by the formation of more liquid phase during firing, due to the presence of less silica and more alkaline- and alkaline-earth oxides than the original ash.
