“…Omer and Noguchi [13] had written extensively regarding the contribution of building materials to achieve the SDGs, where various terminologies of sustainable materials were introduced, e.g., low embodied energy building materials (stabilised earth brick) and alternative building materials (geopolymer material). More specifically, alternative building materials are defined as the combination of materials that use available resources (agricultural and industrial wastes) such as Eco Processed Pozzolan (EPP) [14], Coffee Husk Ash (CHA) [15], and Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) [16] instead of traditional non-green resources to improve the inefficient consumption of energy and achieve sustainability in buildings [13]. Chang et al [17] stated that around 5% of the global carbon dioxide emissions are attributed to cement production, making it one of the highest contributors to the annual carbon dioxide emissions.…”

This study aims to highlight the latest developments in the field of peat soil stabilisation technology via chemical stabilisation. The review examines the use of traditional stabilisers such as OPC and various non-traditional stabiliser materials, i.e., Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA)-OPC blends, chemical solutions, and geopolymer materials, to enhance the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) characteristics of peat soils based on the ASTM D 4609 requirements. OPC, POFA-OPC blends, and alkaline solutions mostly produced stabilised soil samples that fell short of the ASTM requirements. Existing studies on the use of waste-derived geopolymers to treat peat soils are limited, while the use of POFA geopolymer materials has mostly focused on the improvement of clayey and silty soils. The results of soil stabilisation with geopolymer were very encouraging, as the strength gains were in line with the ASTM soil strength requirements. As a result of this review, it can be concluded that POFA geopolymer is a viable soil stabiliser material with the addition of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag, and that the use of POFA-GGBFS geopolymer to enhance the strength properties of peat soils should be investigated.

“…Recent work reported that utilization of ultrafine POFA into interlocking compressed brick (ICB) has produced ICB with good engineering properties compared to the unground POFA ICB. This paper set out to investigate the usefulness of UfPOFA in ICEB production [15].…”

“…Tjaronge and Caronge [17] also investigated the use of unground POFA as a clay replacement in FCB manufacturing. So far, study by Asrah, Sabana, Mirasa, Bolong, and Han [15] examined unground and ultrafine POFA in ICB. However, the formulated ICB mixture were ultrafine and unground POFA, OPC and sand only.…”

In this paper, the effect on utilization of ultrafine palm oil fuel ash (UfPOFA) on the properties of interlocking compressed earth bricks (ICEB) were investigated. The materials used to produce Interlocking Compressed Earth Brick (ICEB) includes clay soil, sand, Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), and water. OPC were replaced at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by mass percentage with UfPOFA. The ICEB specimens were cured at 7 and 28 days to study the bulk density, compressive strength and water absorption of the ICEB. The experimental results found that the incorporation of UfPOFA reduced the bulk density and compressive strength at both ages of the specimens as compared to the control mix. However, it was observed that their compressive strength improved with age. The compressive strength of ICEB specimen with 10% of UfPOFA showed the highest strength at 28 days amongst all mixtures containing UfPOFA with 6.53MPa, which was higher than the strength value required for loadbearing earth bricks in Malaysian Standard (MS) 76:1972. In addition, the lowest rate of water absorption was found to be 15.44% for 28-day old ICEB specimen with 10% UfPOFA, which was just slightly higher than 15% in compliance with MS 76:1972 on the rate of water absorption for earth bricks. The results thus showed UfPOFA as a potential material to be used as an OPC replacement to produce a sustainable ICEB.
