The main objective of this research is to address the potential use of both agricultural and industrial wastes namely Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) respectively as raw material for the production of ‘Green’ lightweight concrete bricks. RHA was used as partial cement replacement, while the EPS was used as partial aggregate replacement in the mixes. Five different mix proportions were prepared. Sample A acts as the control sample (without RHA) and has a Cement: Sand: EPS ratio of 1.0∶ 1.5∶ 1.5, while samples B, C, D and E have RHA replacements of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively. The samples were tested for fresh concrete namely slump, fresh concrete density and air content while the hardened concrete properties tested were sorptivity, compressive strength and thermal conductivity. It was determined that EPS RHA concrete brick gives promising results.","PeriodicalId":184093,"journal":{"name":"2011 World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127499742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The largest components of C&D waste are concrete, aggregate and rubbles followed by soil, wood, metals and roofing materials. In Klang Valley, 88% of the C&D waste generated is from residential buildings while 9% from commercial and 3% from government buildings resulted from increased demand of housing and commercial buildings. A majority of C&D waste dumps to the private land or illegal dumpsites while only 20% of them disposed in legal landfills. This is due to most of the legal landfills are reluctant to accept C&D waste because of their limited space. This paper attempts to document a profile of C&D waste generation and disposal into a one record to allow industry-wide dissemination though it has a limitation of facts and figures for representing the country as a whole. Therefore, there is a need for an authorized body in Malaysia to be responsible for collection, classification, analysis and storage of all types of C&D wastes and a centralized database of C&D wastes to serve a paradigm shift of good waste management practices in the construction industry.","PeriodicalId":184093,"journal":{"name":"2011 World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125333469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this respect the contribution of the so called “Renewable Raw Materials” from agricultural wastes can be a promising starting point. Further, given their provenance, these materials can be also considered as “Ecomaterials”. This issue is now considered as one of the main scientific goals at an international level, given their benign environmental impact Using waste materials avoids the expense of other often non-renewable materials, among many other benefits, with groups which are working in this philosophy called “cradle to grave” under which industries may be able to turn waste into useful materials for themselves or others, thus closing a cycle with obvious benefits. The renewable raw materials developed in our group are value added materials prepared from agricultural industrial wastes, avoiding the use of toxic substances to the environment, as well as achieving maximum economy and reduction of energy expenditure. Some of the processes developed are: immobilization of enzymes for biocatalytic processes, design of scaffolds for tissue engineering, conversion of liquid renewable raw materials into fine chemical intermediates avoiding the use of petroleum derivatives and catalysts for environmental protection.","PeriodicalId":184093,"journal":{"name":"2011 World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST)","volume":"374 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133366916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amine functionalized solid sorbents were prepared by anchoring two types of amine compounds, namely ethylenediamine (EDA) and 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloric acid (CEA) on the surface of palm shell based activated carbon (PSAC). Samples of PSAC were first oxidized by nitric acid using three different available setups to ensure about creation of a significant amount of oxygen containing groups on the surface. At the second stage, the best oxidized sample was modified by anchoring EDA and CEA on the surface to produce a superior CO2 adsorbent. Several quantitative and qualitative methods were used to characterize the prepared samples: Nitrogen adsorption at 77K, proximate and ultimate analysis and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Moreover, CO2 adsorption study was carried out using CO2 adsorption isothermal profile at 30°C and temperature-programmed (TP) CO2 adsorption test. All modified samples had a lower surface area than the virgin PSAC. The best modified sample presented an increase of 45% in CO2 capture capacity at 100°C. On the other hand, on the basis of unit surface area, CO2 capture capacity of amine modified samples was much higher, compared to the parent sample. Furthermore, the modified samples showed a less dependency of their CO2 capacity on temperature indicating chemisorption of the adsorbate on the PSAC surface.","PeriodicalId":184093,"journal":{"name":"2011 World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST)","volume":"254 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122728666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
