Agro Waste Reinforced Composites: A Solution For Sustainable Environment
Journal Title: Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Uluslararası Mühendislik Teknolojileri ve Uygulamalı Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Agro- wastes or agricultural wastes are the residuals obtained when raw agriculture products are grown and processed. The agriculture products include vegetable, fruits, , meat, crops, poultry and dairy products. Its difficult to estimate the agriculture waste arising every year but undoubtedly agro waste constitutes a significant volume of the total waste matter generated in the entire world. This article reviews the huge amount of agro waste and how it can be managed effectively by making rational use in synthesizing novel composite materials and other application. It not only solves the major problem of disposal of this huge amount of agro-waste but also offers a solution for sustainable environment. Any development in agricultural is always accompanied by wastes generated by different farming methods and processing techniques. Agro waste is also generated because of extensive use of chemicals in cultivation and irrational disposal of agro waste by burning or land filling. It badly affects the environment and the fertility of the soil. This paper also describes the application of an agro –waste Rice husk as reinforcement material in making metal matrix composite with Aluminium as matrix which is stronger, lighter and low cost and can be used for various industrial applications. The composites are synthesized by stir cast techniques and characterized by XRD, SEM and optical microscopy for their structural properties. The Rice Husk Ash was taken as 3% wt of the Aluminium metal as reinforcement material. The mechanical properties like Hardness, Young’s modulus etc are also evaluated using Vicker’s Hardness tester.
