ABSTRACTRice Husk is a by Rice Husk is a by Rice Husk is a by Rice Husk is a by----product of rice from agricultural processing which is usually disposed in product of rice from agricultural processing which is usually disposed in product of rice from agricultural processing which is usually disposed in product of rice from agricultural processing which is usually disposed in landfill as waste. Farmers landfill as waste. Farmers landfill as waste. Farmers landfill as waste. Farmers and rice millers normally burn the rice husk (RH)as fuel in milling which leads to air pollution. and rice millers normally burn the rice husk (RH)as fuel in milling which leads to air pollution. and rice millers normally burn the rice husk (RH)as fuel in milling which leads to air pollution. and rice millers normally burn the rice husk (RH)as fuel in milling which leads to air pollution. This study looked atThis study looked at This study looked at This study looked at ways of converting the husk into materials for the construction industry. Chemical composition of RH and Gbo ways of converting the husk into materials for the construction industry. Chemical composition of RH and Gbo ways of converting the husk into materials for the construction industry. Chemical composition of RH and Gbo ways of converting the husk into materials for the construction industry. Chemical composition of RH and Gboko ko ko ko clay soil were investigated using X clay soil were investigated using X clay soil were investigated using X clay soil were investigated using X----ray diffraction test. were found to be below 70% (class C) which is the minimum requirement for pozzolans. The were found to be below 70% (class C) which is the minimum requirement for pozzolans. The were found to be below 70% (class C) which is the minimum requirement for pozzolans. The were found to be below 70% (class C) which is the minimum requirement for pozzolans. The compressive strength test showed that test samples of compressive strength test showed that test samples of compressive strength test showed that test samples of compressive strength test showed that test samples of 300 μm gave the highest compressive strength of 300 μm gave the highest compressive strength of 300 μm gave the highest compressive strength of 300 μm gave the highest compressive strength of 5.47 N/ 5.47 N/ 5.47 N/ 5.47 N/ mm mm mm mm 2 2 2 2 at 2% admixture with the least water absorption of 0.379%. Thus 2% of rice husk used as replacement for clay at 2% admixture with the least water absorption of 0.379%. Thus 2% of rice husk used as replacement for clay at 2% admixture with the least water absorption of 0.379%. Thus 2% of rice husk used as replacement for clay at 2% admixture with the least water absorption of 0.379%. Thus 2% of rice husk used as replacement for clay soil gave the best result soil gave the best result soil gave the best result soil gave the best result. The study concluded that the use of Rice Husk as filler in production of bricks is suitable in . The stud...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
