“…The resulting bottom ash or fume ash is the final waste, which has aroused wide research interest. It has been found that many different kinds of biomass ash can be used as supplementary cementitious materials, such as rice husk ash [1], palm oil fuel ash [2], elephant grass ash [3], sugar cane bagasse ash [4], corn cob ash [5], wood waste ash [6], bamboo stem ash [7], cattle manure ash [8], and paper mill ash [9]. Previous studies found that incorporating biomass ash into cementitious materials could maintain or even improve the mechanical performance of the cementitious materials.…”

Sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) is an abundant byproduct of the sugar and ethanol industry. SCBA is generally used as a fertilizer or is disposed of in landfills, which has led to intensified environmental concerns. In recent years, SCBA research has mainly been focused on utilization in construction materials due to the abundance and pozzolanic characteristics of SCBA. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art morphology, physical properties, chemical composition, and mineralogical composition of SCBA is presented. Studies indicate that SCBA is a potentially promising construction material. The applications of SCBA as a pozzolanic material, a new source for preparing alkali-activated binders, aggregates, and fillers in construction materials, are summarized. The impacts of SCBA on fresh and hardened concrete properties are highlighted, including the physical properties, mechanical strength, microstructure, and durability. Key factors that govern pozzolanic activity are discussed in detail, including calcination and recalcination temperatures, and durations, fineness, loss on ignition (LOI), and crystal silicon dioxide. Finally, further research on the optimal and broad utilization of SCBA in construction materials is recommended.

“…The results of their studies show that the strength activity index obtained from 4 x 4 x 16 cm 3 prismatic mortar samples partially replaced with 10% BSA calcined at 600 o C, was in conformance with the requirements of [8]. However [21] recommend additional experiments to study the influence of BSA on consistency, hydration and durability of cementitious material using higher amounts of ashes and or natural pozzolana.…”

“…But on the subject of bamboo Stem however, scientific literature is scarce. A study by [21] is suggestive of the cementitious value of bamboo stem ash (BSA). The results of their studies show that the strength activity index obtained from 4 x 4 x 16 cm 3 prismatic mortar samples partially replaced with 10% BSA calcined at 600 o C, was in conformance with the requirements of [8].…”

“…Consequently, a number of used bamboo trunks are left to increase astronomically with its attendant adverse effect on the environment. As an agricultural waste, bamboo stem has the potential to contribute positively to the environment through the prospective pozzolanic activities of its ash [21]. The burning of bamboo trunks under controlled conditions, for its ash, could take care of the environmental pollution caused by its waste, and provide an alternative to cement at a reduced cost.…”

Rising costs and a growing sense of environmental consciousness are among the important factors that drive the search for alternative materials in concrete production. This study investigated the potential of Bamboo Stem Ash (BSA) as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete production. This was done by varying the percentage composition ratios of Bamboo Stem Ash to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in both concrete and mortar at 5 : 95, 10 : 90, 15 : 85 , 20 : 80 , 25 : 75 and 30 : 70%. The concrete cubes were prepared using binder/sand/stone ratio of 1:2:4 and water/cement ratio of 0.6 while the mortar cubes were prepared using a binder/sand/water ratio of 1:3:0.5. Results from the study show that the best combination of the BSA to OPC ratio for optimum concrete strength is 10%: 90% for which the compressive strength at 28 days of curing was 22.88 N/mm 2 in comparison with 24.58 N/mm 2 obtained for the control sample. For mortars replaced with the varied percentages of BSA, a slow rate of strength gain was observed even after curing for 28 days.

“…Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) and palm oil fuel ash have also been tested in the last decade. However, there is an increasing interest on assessing the behavior of new ashes from biomass (Payá et al, 2010; Aprianti, 2017) such as wood, bamboo leaves (Villar-Cociña et al, 2011; Frías et al, 2012), bamboo stem (Rodier et al, 2017), coffee husks, cashew nut rinds (Lima & Rossignolo, 2009), olive biomass (Beltran et al, 2016), banana leaves (Kanning et al, 2014), cocoa almond bark (Silva et al, 2015), sugarcane straw (Guzmán et al, 2011; Moraes et al, 2015), and corn cobs (Adesanya & Raheem, 2009), among others. Some studies have also been carried out by using ashes from elephant grass plants (Cordeiro & Sales, 2015; Nakanishi et al, 2014a, 2014b, 2016; Cordeiro & Sales, 2016).…”

Microscopic Chemical Characterization and Reactivity in Cementing Systems of Elephant Grass Leaf Ashes

Many agrowastes are being used for energy production by combustion in power plants. This process generates huge amounts of ash, which has a potential pozzolanic activity for blending with Portland cement or hydrated lime. In this paper, the ash obtained from elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum var. purple) leaves (EGLs) was studied, including the silicon content and its distribution, the presence of other compounds, and in addition, the presence of silica bodies (phytoliths). Combustion temperatures of 450 and 650°C produced an unaltered inorganic skeleton (spodogram), whereas at 850°C, there is a sintering process because of high potassium content in the ash. Phytoliths and different types of hairs were identified, and they contained high percentages of silica. Magnesium (mainly as periclase) was distributed in the most porous parts in the interior of the leaves. The silica can react with calcium hydroxide (pozzolanic reaction) forming calcium silicate hydrates (observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis). Fixed lime percentages at 28 curing days (63%) indicated the high reactivity of EGL ashes in calcium hydroxide pastes due to the pozzolanic reaction. This study demonstrates the possibility of the reuse of ashes from EGLs for the production of environmental-friendly cements.
