A Review on Mechanical Properties of Sustainable Concrete by using Rise husk ash and hydrated lime

Concrete is a commonly used construction material all over the globe. Environmentally conscious construction is essential in today’s society. By using the proper materials, we may achieve long-term construction. RHA is often used as a cementitious product replacement, and in such cases, we may mix RHA with hydrated lime. Many research has been conducted on RHA, and they all indicate that it outperforms other kinds of concrete. The importance of rice husk ash in construction and its applications are the subject of this essay. Many studies have been undertaken to identify appropriate replacements for cement in concrete mixes to reduce our over-reliance on cement as a component in concrete production owing to its contribution to CO2 emissions. This article examined the research on the usage of fly ash and rice husk ash as partial concrete replacements and the chemical composition of these materials, and their impact on concrete compressive strength. The mix was created using a logical approach in which solid components were set, and water and superplasticizer content were modified to get the best viscosity and flowability. Rice husk ash (RHA) is a rice milling byproduct. Its usage as a soil stabilizer provides an environmentally friendly alternative to ultimate disposal. Because RHA is not self-cementitious, a hydraulic binder, such as lime, must be added to create cement types to strengthen the soil. In sandy soils, studies on stabilization using RHA and lime mixtures were carried out. RHA of rice husk incineration in ordinary ovens with no temperature control and laboratory burning at regulated temperatures were utilized. In soil mixes with varying RHA and lime concentrations, cementitious compounds were found to develop. Soils treated with RHA and lime underwent unconfined compression strength testing. All RHA and lime concentrations and periods tested showed strength gains, and all materials created were changed rather than stabilized. The use of RHA to improve sandy soils offers environmental, social, and economic advantages as an alternative to ultimate disposal.

Bioetanol dapat terbuat dari biomassa yang mengandung gula, pati dan selulosa. Dedak padi merupakan hasil samping dari penggilingan padi dan menyumbang ±11% dari berat padi. Dalam hal ini dedak padi karbohidrat yang cukup tinggi untuk diolah menjadi bioetanol. Sementara untuk meningkatkan kadar etanol, proses terpenting dalam produksi bioetanol adalah proses fermentasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu pengoptimalan proses fermentasi meliputi pH dan waktu pada pembuatan bioetanol dari ekstrak dedak padi dengan penambahan urea dan NPK sebagai sumber nutrisi untuk pertumbuhan saccharomycess cerevisiae. Penelitian ini menggunakan dedak padi yang dihidrolisis, kemudian difermentasi menggunakan saccharomycess cerevisiae dengan penambahan nutrisi urea dan NPK, dan di distilasi untuk dimurnikan. Pengoptimalan pH dan waktu pada proses fermentasi serta penambahan nutrisi urea dan NPK diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kadar bioetanol yang dihasilkan. Hasil data dihitung dengan menggunakan metode perhitungan faktorial desain untuk mengetahui variabel paling berpengaruh. Rising fuel prices and declining fossil fuel reserves force to find cheap energy sources as biofuels, such as bioethanol can reduce the negative impact of using non-renewable fossil fuels. Bioethanol can be produced from biomass containing sugar, starch and cellulose. Rice bran is a by product of rice milling and accounts for ±11% of the weight of rice. In this case the carbohydrate rice bran is high enough so that it can be processed into bioethanol. Meanwhile, to increase ethanol content the most important process in manufacture of bioethanol is fermentation process. The purpose of this study is to optimize the fermentation process including pH and time in manufacture of bioethanol from rice bran extract with addition of urea and NPK as a source of nutrients for growth saccharomycess cerevisiae. This study used rice bran which was hydrolyzed, then fermented using saccharomycess cerevisiae with addition of urea and NPK nutrients, and then distilled to be purified. Optimizing pH and time in the fermentation process as well as adding urea and NPK nutrients are expected to increase levels of bioethanol produced. The results of the data are calculated using the design factorial calculation method to determine the most influential variable.

Effect of rice bran protein concentrate as wall material adjunct on selected physicochemical and release properties of microencapsulated β-carotene

Rice bran protein is an emerging protein source from rice milling that possesses health benefits and emulsifying capacity suitable for hypoallergenic encapsulation applications, especially for lipophilic compounds such as β-carotene. The purpose of this study is to develop and characterize β-carotene encapsulates with maltodextrin and rice bran protein. Rice bran protein was prepared using conventional alkali extraction. β-carotene was added to the composite wall materials (50:50 of 4%, 8%, 12%, and 16% solids content) and spray-dried. Encapsulation efficiency (85–98%) and radical scavenging activity (11–43%) varied proportionally with rice bran protein. Across increasing maltodextrin and rice bran protein content of the feed, carbohydrate content of the microcapsules varied proportionally (50–66%) but protein content was uniform (10–13%). Scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data suggested successful encapsulation. Release profiles showed decreasing trend with increasing rice bran protein content; co-digestion with rice mitigated negative impacts of rice bran protein. Microcapsules with nutritive potential and health-promoting properties were developed as potential carotenoid delivery systems.
