Abstract
Sugar cane bagasse ash (SBCA) is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry. It is generated as a combustion by-product from boilers of sugar and alcohol factories. This is composed mainly by silica and this by-product can be used as a mineral admixture in mortar and concrete. This waste product is already causing serious environmental pollution which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. On the other hand, the boost in construction activities in the country created shortage in most of concrete making materials especially cement, resulting in an increase in price. This study examined the potential use of sugarcane bagasse ash as a partial cement replacement material. In this paper, Bagasse ash has been chemically and physically characterized, in order to evaluate the possibility of their use into concrete.
Highlights
Bagasse is a by-product from the sugar industry and it is usually burnt at the mill to provide process power or steam
This paper shows that the sugar content in soil-cement-untreated bagasse is higher than the critical value which hampers cement hydration in cement-based materials, unconfined compressive strength of specimens made out of these mixtures increases with increasing level of cement
The compressive strength of concrete increased at 5% replacement of cement with Sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA)
Summary
Bagasse is a by-product from the sugar industry and it is usually burnt at the mill to provide process power or steam. Utilization of industrial and agricultural waste products in the industry has been the focus of research for economical, environmental and technical reasons. Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor. Researches all over the world today are focusing on ways of utilizing either industrial or agricultural wastes as a source of raw materials for the construction industry. These wastes utilization would be economical, but may result foreign exchange earnings and environmental pollution control.
