“…A large amount of space is needed to dump the bagasse ash (BA) waste (Frias et al 2011;Pereira et al 2011). Current research indicates that BA can be used as a soil stabilizer in agriculture (Kharade et al 2014), pozzolanic material in concrete production (AbdelKader and Darweesh 2010;Bahurudeen and Santhanam 2015), recycled raw material in clay production (Faria et al 2012), for sound absorption, and for the adsorption of dyes. Silica can be extracted from BA, which can then be used as a filler reinforcement in natural rubber compounds (Noonpui et al 2010;Phrommedetch and Pattamaprom 2010;Kanking et al 2012;Rahman et al 2015).…”

This work studied the chemical composition, cure characteristics, and morphological and mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR) compounds filled with silica, which was derived from bagasse ash (BA). The BA filler underwent various preparation processes (untreated, hydrochloric acid (HCl)-treated, and HCl/ammonium fluoride (HCl/NH4F) extracted). The results revealed that the main functional group of the BA was silica. After purification by HCl and HCl/NH4F, the silica content increased from 77.2% to 90.6% and 97.0%, respectively. Longer cure times and lower crosslinking were obtained after purifying the silica. Treatment of silica with HCl/NH4F improved the tensile strength and compression set when added at 15 parts per hundred rubber (phr) loading. Purification with HCl and HCl/NH4F acted as an obstacle to rubber-rubber crosslinking, but helped to moderate the filler-filler interaction. The elongation range for the NR containing the BA silica in this work was 900% to 1,100%. The use of HCl/NH4F-extracted silica in NR vulcanizates had no effect on the lightness, while the untreated and HCl-treated silica displayed decreased lightness. The silica from BA is recommended for use as reinforcing filler in NR compounds if treated with HCl followed by NH4F extraction before use. The optimal loading of the treated silica was 15 phr.

Clay bricks prepared with sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash – A sustainable solution

This study aims to characterize the clay bricks produced by the addition of the two agricultural waste materials i.e. sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash. Disposing off these waste materials is a very challenging task and is a hazard to environment. The sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash were collected locally from the cities of Peshawar and Wazirabad, respectively. These were mixed with the clay for brick manufacturing in three different proportions i.e. 5, 10 and 15% by weight of clay. Mechanical i.e. compressive strength and modulus of rupture and durability properties i.e. water absorption; freeze-thaw and sulphate resistance of these bricks were evaluated. Test results indicated that the sulphate attack resistance and efflorescence of clay bricks incorporating sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ash have been increased significantly. However, no significant effect on mechanical properties was observed. Furthermore, the additions of wastes have reduced the unit weight of bricks which decrease the overall weight of the structure leading to economical construction. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of waste materials in brick manufacturing can minimize the environmental burden leading towards more economical and sustainable construction.

Abstract. Building materials having low thermal load and low thermal conductivity will provide thermal comforts to the occupants in building. In an effort to reduce the use of high energy and waste products from the agricultural industry, sugarcane bagasse and banana bagasse has been utilize as an additive in the manufacture of cement brick. The aim of this study is to investigate the insulation and mechanical properties of brick that has been mixed with bagasse and its effectiveness as thermal insulation using heat flow meter. Waste bagasse is being treated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and is characterized using SEM and XRF. The samples produced with two different dimensions of 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm and 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm for thermal conductivity test. Next, the sample varies from 0% (control sample), 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% in order to determine the best mix proportion. The compressive strength is being tested for 7, 14 and 28 days of water curing. Results showed that banana bagasse has lower thermal conductivity compared to sugarcane bagasse used, with compressive strength of 15.6MPa with thermal conductivity 0.6W/m.K.
