“…In particular, Ca(OH) 2 has a wide range of applications. For instance it has been long used as a component in cement (González-López et al 2015) and more recently as antifungal (Gómez-Ortíz et al 2013) and bactericidal filling of root canals in endodontic treatment (Gomes et al 2006) as many other common applications such as food additives and a material source for the production of pulp and steel.…”

Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2) is recognized as an efficient bactericide and is widely applied as a root canal filler in endodontic treatment. Ca(OH) 2 is mainly produced by hydration of calcium oxide (CaO), a product of the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) from sources such as limestone. In this work, calcium hydroxide particles were synthetized by the thermochemical transformation of waste biomass from the tequila industry. Agave biomass processed at 600 °C was composed mostly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), while calcination at 900 °C followed by hydration produced Ca(OH) 2. The morphology and crystalline nature of the Ca(OH) 2 particles were characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Bactericidal activity of synthesized calcium hydroxide was evaluated with the agar diffusion assay. Our results provide evidence that Ca(OH) 2 obtained from agave biomass is an effective bactericidal against Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Biomass from agave is available in Mexico and the rest of the American continent, the use of processed bagasse for medical applications could provide a venue for the useful disposition of industrial waste.

“…Following the key factors of their potential reactivity, the particle size distribution is the physical characteristic of ashes that most strongly affects reactivity. Furthermore, the effect of ash particle size distribution in the mortar resistant behaviour is very important [95], having an effect on the compressive strength [50] In the case of POFA, some authors state that the best percentage of substitution to maintain or improve the mechanical properties is around 20% (e.g. [97]).…”

Resumo Este trabalho apresenta uma análise do efeito da adição de cinzas do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar (SCBA) em argamassas mistas adotando-se o traço, em volume, 1:2:9 (cimento:cal:agregado miúdo). As cinzas foram caracterizadas em relação à distribuição de partículas, à atividade pozolânica, à composição química, à massa específica, ao teor de umidade e ao teor de perda ao fogo. Posteriormente, foram produzidas argamassas com relação água-cimento constante (2,64), com substituição parcial de agregado miúdo pela cinza pesada do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, com diferentes teores de substituição (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% e 20%), em massa. Entre estes foi selecionado um traço, tendo em vista que suas características não passaram a ter desvantagens significativas, a fim de fazer a substituição de 7,5% de cimento por cinza leve do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar. As argamassas foram caracterizadas no estado fresco quanto a retenção de água, densidade de massa e teor de ar incorporado, e no estado endurecido quanto a coeficiente de capilaridade, resistência à tração na flexão e compressão axial e módulos de elasticidade longitudinal e flexional. A análise dos resultados mostrou que as cinzas podem ser incorporadas às argamassas sem que estas sofram significativas alterações em suas propriedades.
