This article presents a study on the development of amorphous silica from Rice Husk (RH) waste. For ascertaining the optimum proportion of temperature and burning duration required for the development of an amorphous silica from RH waste, different Rice Husk Ash (RHA) samples, i.e. RHA (500oC-1.5hr), RHA (500oC-2hr), RHA (600oC-1.5hr), RHA (600oC-2hr), RHA (700oC-1.5hr), RHA (700oC-2hr), RHA (800oC-1.5hr), RHA (800oC-2) and RHA (900oC-1hr) were extracted by burning the husk at different temperatures and durations. Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) analysis was carried out for ascertaining the existence of main and insignificant elements in the RHAs samples and it was noticed that the extracting of silicon dioxide (SiO2) was exclusively dependent on the temperature and burning duration. After EDS, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to find out the crystalline and non-crystalline nature of obtained silica at different temperatures and burning durations. Through EDS and XRD, it has been found that that the extracted Rice Husk Ash at the temperature of 800oC for 2hr is rich in amorphous SiO2 content, i.e. 91.74% which meets the requirements of ASTM 618-03 for a pozzolanic material.

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.

In this study, the authors attempted to propose the very first study on fabrication and characterization of zinc-boro-silicate (ZBS) glass-ceramics derived from the ternary zinc-boro-silicate (ZnO)0.65(B2O3)0.15(RHA)0.2 glass system through a conventional melt-quenching method by incorporating rice husk ash (RHA) as the silica (SiO2) source, followed by a sintering process. Optimization of sintering condition has densified the sintered samples while embedded beta willemite (β-Zn2SiO4) and alpha willemite (α-Zn2SiO4) were proven in X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) has shown the distribution of willemite crystals in rhombohedral shape crystals and successfully form closely-packed grains due to intense crystallization. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of all sintered ZBS glasses presented various emission peaks at 425, 463, 487, 531, and 643 nm corresponded to violet, blue, green, and red emission, respectively. The correlation between the densification, phase transformation, microstructure, and photoluminescence of Zn2SiO4 glass-ceramic phosphor is discussed in detail.

Rice husk ash (RHA), a waste product of the rice industry, is rich in SiO2. The large amount of SiO2 freely obtained from it provides an abundant and cheap alternative to metallurgical grade SiO2 for many industrial applications. The detailed analysis of the physical dimensions such as length, width and thickness of four varieties (HMT, Sonam, 1001 and JSR) was done. The FTIR analysis of the ash obtained by burning rice husk at different temperatures proves the formation of nano SiO2. The study of the isothermal thermal degradation of the RHA was done by TGA analysis .During TGA analysis it was observed that, mass trace suddenly goes backwards along the abscissa and then continues forward normally. This characteristic behavior of the TGA plot was attributed to the formation of nano SiO2 during incineration of the RHA. The minimum value of the percentage crystallinity of the SiO2 at 500°C proved the formation of amorphous SiO2.

Polymer Modified Concrete

The polymer modification of the concrete has been performed successfully for last more than 85 years. A number of polymer-based admixtures are being used to alter the properties of concrete to be used for repair and rehabilitation of concrete. The initiated research focuses on a new approach of development of polymer-modified concrete with appropriate replacement of cement with rice husk ash (RHA) produced by the incineration of rice husk. This paper presents the optimum possible replacement of cement with rice husk ash by not compromising on mechanical properties of concrete and addition of optimum proportion of re-dispersible polymer powder (RPP).The Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were conducted to verify silica content and amorphous silica in RHA. The replacement of cement with RHA was done with 1% to 15%. The significant improvement in compressive strength with 10 % replacement of cement with RHA is obvious in the results. Further, on inclusion of various % age dosages of RPP in the optimum mix of rice husk ash concrete, the visible improvement in the strength, particularly in the tensile strength is achieved with 2.5 % (of weight of cement) inclusion of re-dispersible polymer powder.

The properties of mortar containing rice husk ash at varying temperatures were studied. Three rice husk ash samples were prepared at different temperatures and with various colors, i.e., 600°C (pink), 800°C (grey), and 1000°C (white), all were used for this study. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), a well known universal binder, was partially replaced with rice husk ash at 10, 15, 20, and 30% by weight of binder. The water to binder ratio (W/B) of the mortar was kept constant at 0.45. The mortars were subjected to seawater or saturated Ca (OH)2 solution. The controlled and exposed mortars were characterized using X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and compressive strength test. The results show that the amount of silica present in RHA are varied with burning temperature and colors, approximately in the range of 95 to 97%. White RHA produced higher compressive strength both in seawater and Ca (OH)2 solution. Finally, white RHA with 15% replacement was most suitable to be used as additive in OPC, and showed good potential for use in seawater applications and alkaline environment.

In many rice producing countries of the world, including in Vietnam, various research aimed at using rice husk ash (RHA) as a finely dispersed active mineral additive in cements, concrete and mortars are being conducted. The effect of the duration of the mechanoactivation of the RHA, produced under laboratory conditions in Vietnam, on its pozzolanic activity were investigated in this study. The composition of ash was investigated by laser granulometry and the values of indicators characterizing the dispersion of its particles before and after mechanical activation were established. The content of soluble amorphous silicon oxide in rice husk ash samples was determined by photocolorimetric analysis. The pizzolanic activity of the RHA, fly ash and the silica fume was also compared according to the method of absorption of the solution of the active mineral additive. It is established that the duration of the mechanical activation of rice husk ash by grinding in a vibratory mill is optimal for increasing its pozzolanic activity, since it simultaneously results in the production of the most dispersed ash particles with the highest specific surface area and maximum solubility of the amorphous silica contained in it. Longer grinding does not lead to further reduction in the size of ash particles, which can be explained by their aggregation, and also reduces the solubility of amorphous silica in an aqueous alkaline medium.

This research studies the potential for using waste ash from industrial and agricultural by-products as a pozzolanic material. Classified fly ash (FA) and ground rice husk ash (RA) were the materials used. Water requirement, compressive strength and porosity of cement mortar were investigated. Test results indicated that FA and RA (waste ash) have a high potential to be used as a good pozzolanic material. The water requirement of mortar mix decreases with the increases in fly ash content. For ground rice husk ash (RA), the water requirement of mortar mix increases with the increases in rice husk ash content. In addition, the reduction in porosity was associated with the increase in compressive strength.

Work Interaction

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used in biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility. However, Hydroxyapatite possesses poor mechanical properties and only tolerate limited loads for implants. Titanium is well-known materials applied in implant that has advantage in mechanical properties but poor in biocompatibility. The combination of the Titanium alloy and HA is expected to produce bio-implants with good in term of mechanical properties and biocompatabilty. In this work, interaction and mechanical properties of HA/Ti6Al4V was analyzed. The physical and mechanical properties of HA/Ti6Al4V composite powder obtained from compaction (powder metallurgy) of 60 wt.% Ti6Al4V and 40 wt.% HA and sintering at different temperatures in air were investigated in this study. Interactions of the mixed powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction. The hardness and density of the HA/Ti6Al4V composites were also measured. Based on the results of XRD analysis, the oxidation of Ti began at 700 °C. At 1000 °C, two phases were formed (i.e., TiO2 and CaTiO3). The results showed that the hardness HA/Ti6Al4V composites increased by 221.6% with increasing sintering temperature from 700oC to 1000oC. In contrast, the density of the composites decreased by 1.9% with increasing sintering temperature.

In this investigation, adsorption of cyanide has been studied by means of batch-technique. Percentage adsorption was determined for Rice Husk Ash (RHA)-Cyanide solution system as a function of i) contact time, ii) pH, iii) adsorbate concentration and iv) temperature. Adsorption data has been interpreted in terms of Freundlich and Langmuir equations. Thermodynamics parameters for the adsorption system have been determined at three different temperatures. The value of ΔH°=38.326KJ/mole and ΔG°=-6.117KJ/mole at 283°K suggest that the adsorption of cyanide on RHA is an endothermic and a spontaneous process.Key words: Cyanide; Rice husk ash (RHA); Adsorption Isotherms DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v46i1.3524 Bangladesh J.
