Agricultural Waste Ash
摘要
Agricultural waste ash, derived from the combustion of agricultural residues like rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, and corn cob, is increasingly recognized for its potential as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM). These ashes are primarily composed of silica, alumina, and iron oxides, which are beneficial for cement production. Incorporating agricultural waste ash in concrete serves multiple purposes: reducing the environmental impact of cement manufacturing, enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete, and promoting waste valorization. The integration of agricultural waste ash in cement and concrete not only addresses the disposal issues associated with agricultural residues but also helps in cutting down the CO 2 emissions associated with traditional cement production processes.
