Использование наночастиц, извлеченных из рисовой шелухи, в качестве минерального вяжущего

В мире существует много источников выбросов CO2. Это исследование затрагивает два наиболее важных из них. Первыйисточник - производство портландцемента как основного компонента портландцементного бетона(ПЦБ), который является основным компонентом строительной отрасли. Вторым источником является CO2,образующийся в результате сжигания рисовой шелухи (РШ) в рисовой промышленности. Установлено, что из рисовой шелухи есть возможность выделения различных типов наночастиц, при этом предотвращается сжигание шелухи. Этими наночастицамипредлагается производить частичную замену портландцемента (ПЦ) в бетоне. В этом случае данные частицы выступаютпуццолановыми добавками. Замену части ПЦ в бетонах можно считать одним из путей решения проблемы выбросовпри производстве цемента. Главная цель этого исследования - изучение пуццоланической активности наночастиц, выделенных из рисовой шелухи, и подтверждение возможности их использования в строительной индустрии. Был проведен ряд экспериментов для проверки пуццоланической активности различных частиц нано - кремнезема, извлекаемых из рисовой шелухи. Извлечение частиц проводилось по двум методикам. В ходе исследования былопроверено два метода определения активности. Первый - измерение электропроводности, второй - индекс активностипрочности согласно ASTM C311. В каждом методе использовались различные нанокремнеземы (НК) в сравнениис микрокремнеземом (МК), который хорошо известен как пуццолановый материал и также сравнивался с мраморнымпорошком, как инертным материалом. Результаты метода электропроводности показывают, что нанокремнезем 1имеет превосходную пуццолановую активность по сравнению с другими материалами, использованными в данном исследовании. С другой стороны, использование второго метода (индекс активности) для НК и МК дает почти такую же пуццоланическую активность, это может быть связано с тем, что наночастицы недостаточно хорошо распределились(диспергировали) в цементной матрице. По полученным результатам можно сделать вывод, что нанокремнезем можетбыть использован в качестве хорошей замены портландцемента в связи с его пуццоланической активностью, что в своюочередь ведет к уменьшенной эмиссии опасных газов при производстве цемента, а также к использованию рисовой шелухи как отходов.

It is well known that, huge emission of carbon dioxide and other hazards gases are produced from cement industry to the atmosphere, which leads to environmental problems. CO2 gas represents more than 65% of Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions [1]. There are many industrial processes that give by-products to be used as Portland cement replacement materials to reduce Portland cement usage [2—4] and achieve sustainable and durable concrete [5—8].

Rice husks (RHs) produced from the rice production are a bulky biomass with high silica content. The anticipated world rice production in 2016 is 746.1 million tons. This means that, approximately 186—260 million tons of RH biomass was generated globally in 2016 [9]. Silica and lignocellulose (LC) are two main components of RH, which lead to the usage of it in the production of silica or cellulose nanoparticles (NPs). Due to the tough nature, low nutritional value and great bulk of RH, its application has been limited [10]. The two most common RHs disposal methods are open field burning and land filling, which result in energy waste, greenhouse gas emission, air pollution, and huge landfill space occupancy due to their low bulk density [11, 12].

A pozzolan is defined as "a siliceous and aluminous material, which in itself, possesses little or no cementitious value, but which will in finely divided form in the presence of moisture, react chemically with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing cementitious properties" [13—17].

Long years ago both of natural pozzolans and industrial by-products were used as supplementary cementing materials (SCMs). Using pozzolans as nanosilica extracted from RH as cementitious material provides a sustainable solution by using nanotechnology, which leads to a significant reduction in the CO2 emissions associated with Portland clinker production. Also, the use of RH in the extraction of nanosilica will be getting rid of random burning of it. In addition to economic and environmental benefits, using of pozzolan (PZ) in the cement industry improves the durability, and mechanical properties of concrete and mortar [18—24]. Pozzolanic materials have proven to be efficient alternative materials

that meet the sustainability requirements; this is because it allows using of waste in the production of PCC. In addition, the partial replacement of PC by such material will lead to reduce the amount PC, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The objective of this research is to prove that the nanosilica extracted from rice husk can replace the cement as supplementary cementitious material or as a pozzolanic material. The main reason for replacement of cement was lowering emissions of hazards gases from both cement production and also random burning of rice husk.

Several methods have been developed to determine the pozzolanic activity; many of these methods are based on the measurement of a property that is directly related to concrete applications [25]. These methods can be divided into direct and indirect methods. The direct methods related to the presence of Ca(OH)2 and its reduction with time as the reaction between calcium hydroxide and silica occurs, using analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and other methods. The indirect test methods measure a physical property of a test sample that indicates the extent of pozzolanic activity. This may involve measurement of properties such as compressive strength, electrical conductivity and other methods. Compressive strength test methods have been used to assess the pozzolanic activity of coal bottom ash, glass powders, crushed bricks, silica fume and sewage sludge ash [26]. Electrical conductivity and pH measurements were used to determine the pozzolanic activity of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) in aqueous suspensions of pozzolan/calcium hydroxide [25]. Results from an indirect pozzolanic activity test are often corroborated using direct tests to confirm that pozzolanic reactions are occurring [26].

Nanotechnology is one of the frontiers of science today. As a matter of fact, nanotechnology could affect us all, beyond nanoparticles, critical length scales and nano-tools [27].There are many methods used for nanoparticles production , an approach for comprehensive utilization of RHs have been developed to obtain both lignocellulose

and high quality porous silica nanoparticles from RHs. Most of the lignocellulose in RHs was first extracted by dissolving in ionic liquids. The dissolved lignocellulose was subsequently separated and collected. The remaining RH residue after extraction that contains a high concentration of silica was thermally treated to synthesize amorphous porous silica nanoparticles with a high purity and surface area [27].

The main aim of this research is to examine the pozzolanic activity of nano-silica extracted from rice husk waste with no value material with different production techniques, this will allow us to replace the cement as supplementary cementitious material for better environmental sustainability. In addition to compare the efficiency of different types of nano-silica with other well-known pozzolanic material such as "silica fume". To achieve this goal an experimental program has been conducted to examine the Pozzolanic activity of Nanosilica 1 and Nanosilica 2 extracted from rice husk, using two different method of extraction compared to SF, which have highly pozzolanic activity and Marble Powder as an well-known waste inert material. The testing of the pozzolanic activity for all materials in this study through two methods, the electrical conductivity measurement and the second method is the strength activity index according to ASTM C311.

was prepared by dissolving 40 mg of CH with 50 mL of distilled water in a closed sealed beaker to prevent carbonation, and then raising the temperature to 80°C to accelerate dissolution by using a heater. Subsequently, the temperature was decreased to 40°C, and 1 g of the mineral under study was added (SF, NS1, NS2 or MP). Next, the electrical conductivity of the solution was immediately measured for a total time of 10,000 s. But for the calculation of the loss in the conductivity in percentage LC% as in equation 1, the electrical conductivity of dissolved lime in the distilled water in the absence of pozzolan must be also measured.

The assessment of the pozzolanic activity of materials by measuring the electrical conductivity in aqueous suspensions takes into account the fact that the OH- and Ca2+ dissolved in water react with the silica from the pozzolan to produce insoluble products, such as calcium silicate hydrate (CSH). The decline of these ions in solution decreases the electrical conductivity of the solution, if the solution is unsaturated with respect to CH.

Because the pozzolanic reaction causes a reduction in the concentration of OH-, a decrease in the pH of the system also occurs; this means that the relation between the % loss in conductivity and the pozzolanic activity of materials under test is directly proportional [24].

Индекс активности / Strength Activity Index (SAI). Strength activity index is a standard test in ASTM C311 and the test is based on measuring the compressive strength values of test mortar and control cement mortar by using compressive testing machine. The weights for the mixture of the control sample given in the standard to make six cubes (50x50x50 mm) are cement (500 g), water (242 g), and sand (1375 g). In accordance with ASTM C311 [12], 20% by weight of the cement used in the control mortar was replaced with the tested material to prepare the test mortar, while the mix designs used in this study as shown in Table.

It has been indicated that, water content of the test mortar should be adjusted according to the required flow according to that of the control mix flow. Since Specification C 618 specifies that "meeting the 7 day or 28 day Strength Activity Index will indicate specification compliance" only one age might be required. At the

option of the producer or the user after preparing six-cube batches, only three cubes of control and test mixtures need to be molded for either 7 or 28 day testing (ASTM Standard C 618 "Specifications for coal fly ash and raw or calcined natural pozzolan for use in concret"). To determine the compressive strength, as specified in Test Method C 109/C 109M, is depending upon how many specimens were molded as prescribed in the section on Number of Specimens (ASTM Standard C 109/C 109M Test method for compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars (Using 2-in. or (50-mm) cube specimens). Calculation of the strength activity index with Portland cement is done as follows: Strength activity index with Portland cement = (A/B)*100, where: A = average compressive strength of test mixture cubes, MPA; B = average compressive strength of control mix cubes, MPA.

Результаты и обсуждение Results and Discussion

In this section the results of both conductivity test and SAI test for all tested materials will be represented and discussed.

Проводимость / Conductivity Results. The relation between the conductivity in (^s/cm) and time in (sec) for lime and other tested materials is shown in Fig. 3, from this figure it was clear that Co must be measured before the calculation of % of loss in conductivity. This means that, the conductivity of the solution can increase, due to the presence of soluble salts in the tested materials.

Fig. 4 shows the relation between the percentage of loss in conductivity and time for different materials; NS1, NS2, SF and MP, from this figure it can be shown this NS1 compared to other materials. The rate of loss in conductivity for nanosilica1 compared to other materials in the first 30 min of the test was very high which it could speeds the rate of the pozzolanic reaction.

The results are summarized in Fig. 5. From this figure it can be indicated that, % of loss in conductivity for NS1 has the superior % of loss in conductivity at 90% compared

to other material. Also indicate that NS1 can be used as cement replacement material with more pozzolanic activity than silica fume by 100% greater enhancement than NS2 and MP. This may be related to the large difference between the surface area between nanosilica and micro silica (silica fume), which directly proportional with the reaction between silica particles and calcium hydroxide. While the large difference in pozzolanic activity between two types of nanosilica may be related to differences in both the properties of surface and also the contact angles between them.

Результаты индекса активности / Strength Activity Index Results. The SAI test was performed according to ASTM C311 to NS1, NS2, SF and MP with ratios as shown in Table.The results for the water to binder ratios for all mix are shown in Fig. 6. From this figure the mixes contains NS1 and NS2 needed more water than the mix contains SF, this may due to the large difference between nanosilica and silica fume.

Fig. 7 shows SAI for different mixes; NS1, NS2, SF and MP. From this figure it is clearly shown that replacing cement by other pozzolanic material slightly decreases the SAI. In addition, the results of the SAI showed that the used NS1 and NS2 in addition to silica fume almost decrease the SAI by 3 and 11% respectively, while the marble have 15% decreased than the silica fume replacement. This decrease of SAI when adding nanosilica to silica fume may be related to adding the mixture of nanosilica with silica fume in the cement mixture without dispersion.

It concluded that, in spite of the enormous increase for consumption of Ca(OH)2 in the conductivity method for NS1 than SF, it is shown that the SAI of NS1 is reduced than SF. This difference in comparing the pozzolanic activity using both methods may be due to two factors, first; the real chemical reaction between silica components in the tested materials and Ca(OH)2 in the absence of cement matrix in the first measurement method. While in the second method the dispersion of this nanoparticle in the mixture is a main factor affecting the compressive strength of the tested materials for avoiding agglomeration of this nanoparticles and loss its main advantage "nano-dimension". The second factor; in the strength activity index method the flow must be constant for all tested mixture which leads to change the quantity of water in each test which can lead also to the reduction of compressive strength of the cubes as shown in Fig. 7.

Выводы Conclusions

The main problem that has been studied in this research was how to reduce the large emissions of CO2 due to not only by reducing the amount of cement used in construction but also by using of nanosilica that can be extracted from Rice husk instead of random burning of it. While the main objective of this study was to investigate the pozzolanic activity of nanosilica particle extracted from rice husk to be used as cementitious material.

From this study it can be concluded that:

• NS1 has shown that it has the lead in the pozzolanic activity compared to any other materials used in this research;

• NS1 gives greatest % of loss in conductivity which is doubles that of SF;

• NS1 show a very high rate of loss in conductivity in the first 30 minutes which leads to accelerate the pozzolanic reaction;

• It was shown that in the SAI the water to binder ratio was not constant to achieve the constant flow, which means that NS1 needs more water than SF;

• The results of SAI shows that there are a reduction of the pozzolanic activity of NS1 compared to SF;

• The dispersion of nanoparticle is main problem affecting the SAI results.

• By proving the pozzolanicty of the nanosilica extracted from rice husk can lead the future work in the environmental phase of lowering the % of CO2 emissions, other hazard gases, also their bad effect on the environment and for better sustainability. Recommendations for future work are to make the SAI with constant water to binder ratio.
