Utilization of Rice Husk Ash in the Production of Porcelain
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
This research project focuses on utilization of rice husk ash for the production of porcelain. Due to the fast polluting environment there is an increasing demand for durable construction materials. Rice (Oryzasativa) is a great example of alternate material. Rice husk is a byproduct of rice milling industry. It constitutes about 50% cellulose, 25? 30% lignin, and 15? 20% of silica. This rice husk can be used as great source of fuel. When it is burnt under specific set of temperature and conditions lignin and cellulose are removed and only rice husk ash which is also known as RHA is obtained. This obtained RHA contains approximate 95% of silica. This silica can be used for the production of porcelain. Production of porcelain through RHA is not only eco friendly but it also increases the strength and durability as compared to ordinary porcelain. These RHA produced porcelain proves to be more effective supplementary material as it is economical, less costlier, strong and durable. Also the bulk density of vis reduced by the use of RHA.
