CEMENT FROM RICE HUSK

                Cement has been successfully produced from the  agricultural waste,  rice  husk ash. For this production, rice husk  was  pre-carbonized  in a pilot-plant and was further decarbonized  in  an electric  furnace to produce rice husk ash. 24.5% rice  husk  ash was  mixed  with  other  raw  materials  (sourced  locally)   for producing white Portland cement and the cement produced was  used to  make a concrete slab.

              The formulated cement slab,  commercial cement  and slab were tested for their  physical  characteristics and  chemical  composition. The results of tests  confirmed  that produced  cement  was of similar standard to  commercial  cement. Based on the results, the production of cement from rice husk has been  recommended  for developing countries since it  would  help reduce problems of rice husks as farm wastes.
