Bagasse Ash As An Effective Replacement In Fly Ash Bricks
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Utilization of industrial and agricultural waste products in the industry has been the focus of research for economic, environmental, and technical reasons. Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor. Huge quantity of ash which is a waste product, available at very negligible rate. It causes the chronic lung condition pulmonary fibrosis more specifically referred to as bagassios. In this paper, Bagasse ash can be utilized by replacing it with fly ash and lime in fly ash bricks. Trial bricks of size (230x100x75) mm were tested with different proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% with replacement of fly ash and 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% with replacement of lime. These bricks were tested in Compression test and Water absorption test as per Indian Standards. The aim of this research was to make economical and green bricks to maintain environmental balance, and avoid problem of ash disposal.
