Abstract

The morphological and elemental analysis of materials to assess their composition and suitability for various applications. Using agricultural crop wastes such as sugar cane back, rice husks, beans pod, as a partial replacement of sand in the manufacture of cement blocks, because they contain high calcium, silicon, aluminium, iron and other ingredients when control. The need to convert them into useful materials to minimize their negative effect on the environment. 100 g of untreated samples was measured in ratio 2:1:1 which is 50 g of sugar cane back, 25 g of beans pod and 25 g of rice husk.  Sugarcane, beans and rice husks ash (SBRHA) as a silica source was structured, resulting from burning at a temperature of 550°C within 4:00 hours in an electric furnace. SBRHA consists of inorganic, combustible matter in the rice husk that has been fused into an amorphous structure. Microscopic techniques, such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with (Energy Dispersion X-ray (EDX) were used to observe the surface and internal structure of the (SBRHA) the results among other things revealed that (SBRHA) consist of mainly Si, (61.43%), K (14.81%), Fe (1.41%), Al (2.05%) and Ca (5.59%) microscope examination showed that has a porous cellular structure and consists of irregular – shaped particles. This study has contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the field of materials science, particularly in the utilization of biomass resources for innovative applications.
