Title

Comparison of Compressive Strength of Clay Bricks Prepared with various ratio of Sugarcane Bagasse and Rice Husk

Abstract

Sugar is one of the main substrates of hllll1an diet. The five top sugar producing countries in the world are India, Brazil, Thailand, Australia and China. Their production accounts for 40% of the total global sugar production out of the 115 countries producing sugar in the world, Out of these countries, 67 produce sugar from sugarcane, 39 from sugar beet and 9 countries from both cane and beet. Thus, 70% of the sugar is produced from sugarcane and 30% from sugar beet and cassava. On the other hand, rice is the most important staple crop produced. Rice straw is one of the most important agricultural residues. It is an annually renewable fiber resource that is available in abundant quantity in many regions of the world whereby tons of unused rice straw residues are generated every year and only a very small percentage has been used for applications such as feed stock and energy production. 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 ve1y challenging task and is a hazard to environment. Sugarcane bagasse and rice straw are among the agricultural wastes that are abundantly available. The present investigation researches the potential of incorporating these two wastes into the production of insulating fired clay brick. It focuses on the feasibility of using them in fired clay brick mixtures with a percentage replacement up to 5% by weight. Physical, mechanical and thennal properties of the bricks fired at 1250 oC for 2 hours were tested according to standard procedures. The results indicated that adding up to 5% of wastes with 0.5% polystyrene beads (by weight) to standard mixture of bricks reduced the density and improved the brick thermal insulating properties. Even though incorporating the wastes has resulted into a decrease in the mechanical properties, the bricks still comply by the minimum standard for compressive strength. In conclusion, the incorporation of these two wastes at different polystyrene into fired clay bricks produced insulating fire bricks with acceptable properties while providing at the same time an alternative way of disposing the sugarcane bagasse and rice straw waste.
