This study was conducted to evaluate the properties of cement bonded particleboard made from rice husk and sawdust. Sawdust and rice husk fine boards were made using two ratios of cement and particles of 70:30 and 80:20, but rice husk coarse was made with a ratio of cement and particle of 80:20. The density of sawdust and rice husk fine boards in a ratio of cement and particles of 70:30 was 960...

This study investigates the progressions in mechanical properties of concrete by substitution cement Rice Husk Ash (RHA) conjunction with superplasticizers. husk is a by-product rice milling process, inexact generation 200 kg for every one ton rice. Diffusion matrix enhance concrete. investigation has been done to determine strength parameters various extents supplemented Ash. M20 grade (Design...

In this study, adsorption of zinc onto the adsorbent (untreated rice husk and NaOH-treated rice husk) was examined. During the removal process, batch technique was used, and the effects of pH and contact time were investigated. Langmuir isotherm was applied in order to determine the efficiency of NaOH-treated rice husk used as an adsorbent. The zinc adsorption was fast, and equilibrium was atta...

Effects of rice husk ash (RHA) on the strength and temperature resistance of concrete were investigated. Different amounts of cement in concrete were replaced by RHA and fly ash (FA), used as mineral admixtures, under the condition of a constant binder content. The compressive strength and temperature resistance were tested at different temperatures. The results show that mixing concrete with t...

This study evaluates the adsorption of bisphenol-A (BPA) from aqueous solutions using nanosilicaobtained from rice husk. Nanosilica (79 nm) was extracted from acid and thermal treated rice huskwaste. The rice husk nanosilica (RHS) was fully characterized through X-Ray DiffractionSpectroscopy (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy(XRF) and Fourier Transmittanc...

In this paper, the corrosion behavior of the filled epoxy paint with the rice husk ash RHA on steel substrates in two different corrosive environments natural sea water and 2M sulfuric acid has been studied. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS was used to evaluate protective properties of different organic coating systems due to the different filler composition. RHA was prepared by heati...

rice husk ash (rha) is natural pozzolan containing reactive silica and/or aluminum. when the material is mixed with lime in powdered form and in the presence of water, it will set and harden like cement. this work uses osadebe’s optimization model to optimize the shear modulus of concrete made from rha. the strengths predicted by the model are in good agreement with their corresponding experime...
