Abstract

Coconut shell and coir were considered agricultural wastes and were used in open burning which harms the environment. The Philippines is ranked second among the top 5 coconut-producing countries in the world and produces approximately 14.7 million metric tons of coconut. To mitigate the growing problem of coconut wastes, an experiment to use coconut shell and coir as reinforcement in producing eco-friendly, light, and durable concrete roof tiles has been proven in this study. The optimal ratio among the trials made was 1 kilogram of cement, 0.75 kilograms of color cement, 0.10 kilograms coir, 2.25 kilograms of coconut shell powder, and 1 kilogram of sand. Furthermore, the feasibility of manufacturing and marketing this product has been proven with an initial investment of 60 million Philippine peso and a payback period of 2.83 years.

由椰子壳粉和椰子纤维加固的环保混凝土屋顶瓦

椰子壳和椰壳被认为是农业废弃物，用于露天焚烧，危害环境。菲律宾在世界五大椰子生产国中排名第二，椰子产量约为1470万吨。为了缓解日益严重的椰子废料问题，本研究证明了使用椰子壳和椰壳作为增强材料来生产环保、轻便和耐用的混凝土屋顶瓦的实验。试验的最佳配比为水泥1公斤、彩色水泥0.75公斤、椰壳粉0.10公斤、椰壳粉2.25公斤、沙子1公斤。此外，生产和销售该产品的可行性已得到证明，初期投资为6000万菲律宾比索，投资回收期为2.83年。
