Reuse of Silica Rich Sugarcane Bagasse Ash in Concrete and Influence of Different Curing on the Performance of Concrete
Silicon, 2021Co-Authors: T. Murugesan, R. Vidjeapriya, A. BahurudeenAbstract:Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is used as a pozzolan in concrete. Although studies on sugarcane Bagasse Ash blended concrete are available, investigation on the influence of different curing methods in the performance of Bagasse Ash and marble waste blended concrete is essential. Therefore, the present study focuses on the effect of eight types of curing methods on the strength and durability of Bagasse Ash and marble waste based concrete. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (20 %) and marble waste (25 %) were used at their optimum levels as a pozzolan and fine aggregates in concrete. Compressive strength, water permeability, sorptivity and abrasive resistance of concrete for different curing methods were studied. River sand and crusher sand were used as primary fine aggregate. Strength and durability performance of concrete specimens was comparable for moist curing, jute bag curing and straw curing. Normal water curing is found to be beneficial than other curing methods. Water cured Bagasse Ash and marble waste blended specimens had higher strength (36 %) and lesser permeability (18.8 %) than ambient cured specimens. Although variations in the abrasive wear are observed in the SCBA and MW blended concrete specimens, it is lesser than the permissible limit of 10 mm.

Sustainable Opportunities for Sugar Industries Through Potential Reuse of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash in Blended Cement Production
Sugar Tech, 2021Co-Authors: T. Murugesan, R. Vidjeapriya, G. Athira, A. BahurudeenAbstract:Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is available in abundance and it has significant pozzolanic reactivity. However, Bagasse Ash is currently disposed of as a waste in the major sugar-producing countries and its use in industrial-scale blended cement production is highly limited. A systematic review of the potential of Bagasse Ash for use as a pozzolan in concrete and the translation of the all-inclusive research outcomes from earlier research studies to the industry can enable its wider acceptance. Hence, this study undertakes a comprehensive review on the use of sugarcane Bagasse Ash in concrete. The physical, chemical and pozzolanic characteristics of sugarcane Bagasse Ash and their effects on the properties of concrete are reported. The use of Bagasse Ash is found to result in a notable increment in the compressive and tensile strengths up to 20% replacement. Nevertheless, delay in setting times and reduction in workability are widely reported. The resistance of Bagasse Ash blended concrete against chloride ion penetration, water permeability and air permeability were also reviewed, and a considerable drop in the permeability was reported over the conventional cement concrete. Opportunities for the effective recycling of Bagasse Ash and their benefits in India, the second-largest sugar producer in the world, are presented.

Potential of sugarcane Bagasse Ash as supplementary cementitious material and comparison with currently used rice husk Ash
Construction and Building Materials, 2021Co-Authors: V. Jittin, S.n. Minnu, A. BahurudeenAbstract:Abstract Use of Bagasse Ash in the cement industry is hindered due to a lack of comprehensive information on its influence on concrete. Moreover, a comparison of the potential of Bagasse Ash with a well-known agricultural by-product, rice husk Ash will increase the chance of its acceptance. Hence, physical, chemical, and morphological characteristics of Bagasse Ash are compared with rice husk Ash. Strength of Bagasse Ash blended concrete, and rice husk Ash blended concrete is higher than the control concrete up to 20% and 15% of cement replacement levels, respectively. Significant resistance against chloride, water, and air permeability was witnessed for Bagasse Ash, or rice husk Ash blended concrete up to their optimum replacement levels.

Availability and Accessibility of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash for its Utilization in Indian Cement Plants: A GIS-Based Network Analysis
Sugar Tech, 2020Co-Authors: G. Athira, A. Bahurudeen, V. S. VishnuAbstract:Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is an abundantly available waste material from sugar plants in India. Even though the beneficial properties of Bagasse Ash as a cement replacement material have been reported in several studies, its large-scale utilization in Indian cement plants is not yet achieved. This is partly due to a lack of proper quantification of the available sugarcane Bagasse Ash and its accessibility from sugar plants to the existing cement plants. A detailed sugarcane Bagasse Ash availability database in the five major sugar-producing states and their precise geographical distribution have been presented in this study. The proximity of the Bagasse Ash sources to existing cement plants in these five states is quantified using a GIS-based network analysis approach. Additionally, the accessibility of Bagasse Ash is compared with currently used fly Ash and slag. Results from the study show that the probability of finding a Bagasse Ash source at near distances from cement plants is higher than the probability of having fly Ash or slag sources in three out of the five states considered in the study.

Development of Sustainable Alkali Activated Binder for Construction Using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Marble Waste
Sugar Tech, 2020Co-Authors: Thanabalan Murugesan, R. Vidjeapriya, A. BahurudeenAbstract:The rapid growth in the construction sector leads to high demand for construction materials and hence global research studies focus on the use of sustainable alternative materials to meet the demand. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is a by-product from sugar industry and about 44,220 tonnes/day is disposed of as waste in India. Bagasse Ash consists of reactive silica and can be used as a sustainable source material in alkali activated binder instead of disposed as a waste. Similarly, marble waste from marble processing plants can be used as an alternative for fine aggregates. Alkali-activated concrete has high strength and durability compared to conventional cement concrete. Bagasse Ash can be blended with other industrial by-products like slag to produce high quality of alkali-activated concrete without cement. The combined effect of Bagasse Ash and marble waste in alkali-activated mortar is not yet investigated. This present study focuses on the performance of Bagasse Ash and marble waste as a precursor and fine aggregates respectively in alkali-activated mortar. Influence of three different molarities (6 M, 8 M and 10 M) and two curing methods (heat and ambient curing) and three levels of replacement using Bagasse Ash (10%, 20% and 30%) were investigated. This experimental results showed that a considerable improvement in compressive strength for Bagasse Ash with marble waste blended alkali-activated mortar specimens compared to only Bagasse Ash blended mortar specimens. Moreover, the strength of Bagasse Ash blended specimens was increased with molarity. Ambient cured Bagasse Ash blended specimens exhibited higher strength compared to the heat cured specimens.

Service Life Prediction of Bagasse Ash Blended Concrete in Marine SplAsh Zone
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2017Co-Authors: S. Mahima, A. Bahurudeen, Manu Santhanam, K. JayachandranAbstract:Abstract Supplementary cementitious materials are commonly used in concrete due to their superior performance such as higher strength and low heat of hydration when compared to ordinary Portland concrete. In addition to pozzolanic benefits, utilization of these materials leads to durable and sustainable concrete. Although several pozzolanic materials are available including industrial by-products for use in concrete, their utilization is considerably restricted due to inadequate performance evaluation in concrete. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is a by-product from the sugar industries that is directly disposed as a waste material which leads to significant environmental degradation. Pozzolanic characteristics of sugarcane Bagasse Ash have been evidently reported in the previous research studies. However, durability of Bagasse Ash blended concrete and its service life prediction are not reported in the existing literature. In the study, sugarcane Bagasse Ash was processed based on appropriate characterization scheme and Bagasse Ash blended cements were produced. Permeability of Bagasse Ash blended concrete was investigated and compared with Portland cement concrete and fly Ash blended concrete. Moreover, influence of cover depth on service life of concrete structure was investigated. Results of accelerated durability test were correlated with the parameters influencing the long term performance of the concrete. The service life of Bagasse Ash concrete structures was found to be higher than the ordinary concrete structure in the same exposure conditions.

Assesment of Pozzolanic Performance of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash
Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2016Co-Authors: A. Bahurudeen, Kaisar Wani, Mirza Abdul Basit, Manu SanthanamAbstract:AbstractSugarcane Bagasse Ash is obtained as a by-product from cogeneration combustion boilers in sugar industries, and is reported to be a useful supplementary cementitious material in concrete. A clear evaluation of pozzolanic activity of sugarcane Bagasse Ash is imperative to achieve its effective utilization in concrete instead of being disposed as a waste in enormous quantities. Pozzolanic activity of raw sugarcane Bagasse Ash and a processed sample of the same was assessed by five different standard methods in this study. The methods used were: strength activity index test, lime reactivity test, Frattini test, electrical conductivity test, and lime saturation test. In addition, chemical and mineralogical analyses were also performed on the Bagasse Ash. Durability performance of concrete with Bagasse Ash blended cement was evaluated and compared with fly Ash-based concrete. The results from the studies indicate that raw Bagasse Ash has low pozzolanic activity due to presence of fibrous carbon particl...

Influence of different processing methods on the pozzolanic performance of sugarcane Bagasse Ash
Cement and Concrete Composites, 2015Co-Authors: A. Bahurudeen, Manu SanthanamAbstract:Abstract Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is obtained as a by-product from cogeneration combustion boilers in sugar industries. Previous studies have reported that the use of sugarcane Bagasse Ash as supplementary cementitious material in the concrete can improve its properties. The utilization of Bagasse Ash has been constrained because of inadequate understanding of the material and lack of suitable processing methodology for use in a large scale. Processing methods significantly influence the pozzolanic activity of any supplementary cementitious material. Proper assessment of pozzolanic activity and processing methodology of Bagasse Ash were not investigated in earlier research studies. This paper describes a study that involves pozzolanic performance evaluation and microstructural characterization of sugarcane Bagasse Ash for use as pozzolanic material in concrete. A comprehensive evaluation of pozzolanic activity of sugarcane Bagasse Ash based on different processing methods including burning, grinding, complete removal of coarse fibrous particles by sieving and combinations of these methods were examined in this study. Suitable processing methodology to attain maximum pozzolanic activity of sugarcane Bagasse Ash with minimum level of processing is described in this paper.

Performance evaluation of sugarcane Bagasse Ash blended cement in concrete
Cement and Concrete Composites, 2015Co-Authors: A. Bahurudeen, Deepak Kanraj, V. Gokul Dev, Manu SanthanamAbstract:Abstract By-products from a number of industrial processes are used as alternative supplementary cementitious materials in concrete. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash is mainly composed of amorphous silica and can be used as a pozzolanic material in concrete. Production of sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) based blended cements with different replacement levels of SCBA, and the performance of concrete with these cements in terms of compressive strength, heat of hydration, drying shrinkage and durability are discussed in this paper. Durability performance was investigated by five different methods in this study, namely oxygen permeability test, rapid chloride penetration test, chloride conductivity test, water sorptivity test, DIN water permeability test and Torrent air permeability test. The results from this study show that use of sugarcane Bagasse Ash in concrete prominently enhances its performance. Low heat of hydration, additional strength gain due to pozzolanic reaction, significant reduction in permeability because of pore refinement and similar drying shrinkage behavior were observed for Bagasse Ash blended concrete compared to control concrete.

Densification behavior of floor tiles added with sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste
Ciência & Tecnologia dos Materiais, 2016Co-Authors: M.a.s. Schettino, F.b. Siqueira, José Nilson França De HolandaAbstract:Abstract In this work, the effect of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste on the densification behavior of vitrified floor tiles was investigated. Four tile formulations containing up to 5 wt. % of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste as a replacement of quartz were prepared. The floor tile manufacturing route consisted of the following steps: powder preparation by the dry process, uniaxial pressing, and firing at temperatures between 1190 °C and 1250 °C using a fast-firing cycle. The densification was measured by three parameters: linear shrinkage, water absorption, and flexural strength. The microstructure was evaluated by XRD and SEM. The experimental results indicated that the densification behavior of floor tile formulations was influenced by both the amount of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste and the maximum firing temperature. Microstructural variation occurred during firing. However, the use of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste had little effect on phase evolution during the fast-firing cycle. An optimum amount of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste (up to 2.5 wt. %) for the replacement of quartz allowed for the highest quality production of floor tile materials.

Recycling of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste in the production of clay bricks.
Journal of environmental management, 2012Co-Authors: Kátia Cristina Pereira De Faria, R.f. Gurgel, José Nilson França De HolandaAbstract:This work investigates the recycling of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste as a method to provide raw material for clay brick bodies, through replacement of natural clay by up 20 wt.%. Initially, the waste sample was characterized by its chemical composition, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, particle size, morphology and pollution potential. Clay bricks pieces were prepared, and then tested, so as to determine their technological properties (e.g., linear shrinkage, water absorption, apparent density, and tensile strength). The sintered microstructure was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste is mainly composed by crystalline silica particles. The test results indicate that the sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste could be used as a filler in clay bricks, thus enhancing the possibility of its reuse in a safe and sustainable way.

Using SEM/EDS for characterization of clay ceramic bearing sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste
2012Co-Authors: Kátia Cristina Pereira De Faria, José Nilson França De HolandaAbstract:The sugarcane industry is based mainly on the production of sugar and ethanol, which generates huge amounts of sugarcane Bagasse. In general, the sugarcane Bagasse is used by the plants for energy co-generation. As a result, this industry produces huge amounts of waste named sugarcane Bagasse Ash. The volume of such waste is expected to continuously increase. The sugarcane Bagasse Ash is considered a non-biodegradable solid waste material, which is rich in crystalline silica (SiO2). Thus, the management of this waste in an environmentally safe way is a challenge that must be met. One of the ways for solving this problem is the reuse of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste for the purpose of partial replacement of natural raw material in the production of clay ceramics. This chapter focuses on the microstructural characterization of clay ceramic bearing sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste fired at different temperatures by scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS). The effect of the incorporation of sugarcane Bagasse Ash waste on the microstructure and technological properties of clay ceramic was investigated.

Eco-production of silica from sugarcane Bagasse Ash for use as a photochromic pigment filler
Scientific reports, 2020Co-Authors: Prinya Chindaprasirt, Ubolluk RattanasakAbstract:Sugarcane Bagasse is a significant renewable energy source for the sugar and bioethanol industries. Bagasse Ash is the waste from the combustion process and is mostly disposed of as landfill. Only a small quantity of Bagasse Ash is utilized as pozzolan in concrete, and a considerable quantity is left unused due to its high carbon and crystallite content. Generally, Bagasse Ash is rich in silica (SiO2), and it is thus an alternative source for silica extraction. In this paper, a low-energy and low-chemical consumption method is proposed to obtain silica from Bagasse Ash using alkali extraction and acid precipitation. The physical and chemical properties of the extracted silica are described. A silica yield of 80% and moisture absorption of 73% were achieved. The silica had amorphous phases and was light gray in color owing to the presence of carbon from incomplete combustion. Bagasse silica was used as an extender filler in an expensive photochromic pigment to increase the bulk volume. It was found that a pigment-to-silica mass ratio up to 1:10 could be used for thick-layer painting. However, a ratio of up to 1:3 is recommended for thin-layer screen-printing on fabrics. The Bagasse Ash silica-pigment blends have very good color fastness when wAshing; however, frequent aggressive wAshing should be avoided.

Durability and Mechanical Properties of Pavement Concrete Containing Bagasse Ash
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2019Co-Authors: Prinya Chindaprasirt, Purimpat Sujumnongtokul, Patcharapol PosiAbstract:Abstract In this research, the durability and mechanical properties of pavement concrete containing Bagasse Ash was studied. The pavement concrete containing Bagasse Ash was made from Portland cement, sand, limestone aggregate, water, and Bagasse Ash. The Bagasse Ash was the waste from biomass power plant boiler of Sakaeo, Thailand. It was used to replace Portland cement at the level of 0 - 60 % to produce pavement concrete. Compressive strength, density, water absorption, porosity, modulus of elasticity, thermal conductivity and durability of pavement concrete were investigated. At the age of 28 days, the pavement concretes containing Bagasse Ash had compressive strength of 11.0 - 35.0 MPa, density of 2210 - 2400 kg/m3, water absorption of 15.00 - 20.82 %, porosity of 6.74 - 10.21 %, modulus of elasticity of 14.48 - 23.98 GPa, and thermal conductivity of 1.49 - 1.91 W/mK. In addition, the pavement concretes containing Bagasse Ash of 20 and 40 % with compressive strengths not less than 17.5 Mpa as required by ACI 211 for a normal weight concrete showed good durability in terms of abrasion resistance and acid resistance. Thus, this concrete could be used for pavement where the durability of concrete is a prime concern.

Utilization of Bagasse Ash in high-strength concrete
Materials & Design, 2012Co-Authors: Sumrerng Rukzon, Prinya ChindaprasirtAbstract:Abstract This paper presents the use of Bagasse Ash (BA) as a pozzolanic material for producing high-strength concrete. Portland cement type I (PC) is partially replaced with finely ground Bagasse Ash. The concrete mixtures, in part, are replaced with 10%, 20% and 30% of BA respectively. In addition, the compressive strength, the porosity, the coefficient of water absorption, the rapid chloride penetration and the chloride diffusion of concretes are determined. The test results indicate that the incorporation of BA up to 30% replacement level increases the resistance to chloride penetration. Besides, the use of 10% of BA produced concretes with good strength and low porosity. Reasonably, the substitution of 30% BA is acceptable for producing high-strength concrete.
