Use of waste or by-products from different industries and the agricultural sector has received increasing attention in the scientific, technology, ecological, economic and social spheres in recent years. Rice husk (RH) is a by-product of rice milling and rice husk ash (RHA) is generated by combustion in a separate boiler. Both RH and RHA are abundantly accessible in rice growing countries such as China, India, Brazil, the USA, and Southeast Asia. RH has therefore been recycled by burning it for energy production. This generates RHA, which contains a huge quantity (85-95%) of amorphous silica. Over the past two decades, RHA has been used extensively in numerous fields for manufacturing of different silicates, zeolites, catalysts, nanocomposite, cement, lightweight construction materials, insulators, and adsorbents. This paper presents a comprehensive overview on the processing of nano-silica from RH/RHA. It tries at the same time, to present a critical review of the application of RHA as an ingredient for the production of various ceramic materials, e.g. refractory, glass, whiteware, oxide and non-oxide ceramics, silica aerogel and SiO 2 /C composites. In summary, amorphous silica derived from RHA or RH provides a potential alternative to conventional silica sources (e.g. quartz) for the manufacture of value-added ceramics for practical applications.

Wasted oyster shells generate environmental pollution and odor, thereby causing inconvenience to people. In addition, low-quality aggregates are generated owing to the lack of sand. To address these problems, cementitious composites that replaced sand with oyster shell powder were fabricated in this study, and a total 120 specimens were fabricated (specimen size: 50×50×50 mm3). The oyster shell substitution rate for sand, admixture type, and presence or absence of admixture were set as the experimental parameters. Herein, 0, 30, 70, and 100% of sand was replaced with oyster shell powder to examine the compressive strength of the cementitious composites according to the oyster shell powder content. The experiment results confirmed the decrease in the compressive strength of the cementitious composite with an increase in the oyster shell powder content. In the case of the cementitious composites mixed with oyster shell powder, silica fume, blast furnace slag, and an air-entraining water-reducing agent, the compressive strength increased by up to 30% with an increase in the oyster shell powder content. The results of cementitious composites containing oyster shell powder and admixture fabricated in this study indicate the potential of oyster shells as a new construction material that can replace sand.

“…After that, many modifications have been made by several researchers for industrialization of this process. Recently, microwave heating and different catalyst activities have been investigated for the preparation of SiC from RH through different studies [202][203][204][205]. Certain metallic catalysts (Co, Fe, Pd, Ni, and Cr) are significantly enhanced the reaction kinetic between SiO 2 and C in the temperature at 1200-1600°C.…”

Wastes from different manufacturing processes and energy generation unite are attributed to the ecological and health issues. Instead of land-filling, the waste can be recycled or reused to convert marketable value-added products with high ecologic and economic interest. Ceramics are attracting particularly in waste recycling perceptions. From this eco-friendly propensity, in the last two decades, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated the possibility to use alternative ingredients in the place of conventional raw materials (e.g., most common ternary clay-quartz-feldspar system) for the fabrication of ceramics. Researchers are trying to incorporate the wastes and industrial by-products like fly ash (FA), rice husk ash (RHA), blast furnace slag (BFS), sludge, glass waste, polished tile waste, eggshell and others for making different ceramics. The present review is aimed to provide an up-to-date overview of the recent wastederived ceramics including refractories, glasses, whitewares, oxide and non-oxide ceramics with the correlation of waste incorporation limits, manufacturing routes, and properties of the ceramics. The investigation reveals that ceramic industries have huge potential to utilize the wastes as substitution of the natural raw materials. The waste to value-added ceramics conversion not only solves the disposal problems but also conserves the natural resources.
