The limitations of the physical properties of ultisol soil, particularly porosity and low water-holding capacity, are one of the main constraints in cultivating vegetable crops, such as spinach (Amaranthus sp.). Efforts to improve these conditions can be carried out through the application of rice husk Biochar as an ameliorant material and by regulating the appropriate watering frequency to inc…
Aluminum matrix composite (AMC) is an engineering material developed to improve the mechanical properties of recycled aluminum through the addition of reinforcing particles. This study aims to analyze the effect of the addition of Silicon Carbide (SiC) at 3 wt% and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) at 2 wt%, 4 wt%, and 6 wt% on the hardness, impact toughness, and microstructure of aluminum scrap using the st…
Aspal memiliki sifat viskositas yang unik, elastisitas, tahan air, perekat yang baik dan sifat impermeabilitas yang tinggi, namun seiring dengan waktu dan kondisi lingkungan sekitar, aspal akan mengalami kerusakan. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut maka diperlukan modifikasi aspal dalam memperbaiki sifat tersebut. Aspal polimer merupakan modifikasi aspal yang menggunakan bahan tambahan salah satunya…

Biobriquettes have been made from renewable energy, namely biomass of rice husk, to be able for energy requirement. Rice husk contains a chemical composition of cellulose 31.12%, lignin 22.34% and hemicellulose 21.48%. Rice husk were carbonized based on time of 30, 60 and 90 minutes with variations of 400,500 and 600⁰C. The rice husk are then ground and sieved. The composition of rice husk bi…
Innovation of porous concrete which has a relationship between its pores, connected concrete pores have permeability and are passed through fluids, especially water, the material used in a mixture of pervious concrete consists of a mixture of coarse aggregates, cement and water called pervious concrete. So that it can only be applied to certain parking lots and roads. This research utilizes was…
Soil has important roles in a construction work. Soil is the building supporting foundation or the construction of the building itself. But not all types of soil can be used directly. One of those is clay. Before being used in the construction, it is necessary to stabilization the clay. The method used in this study was chemical soil stabilization by addition 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% of rice hus…
Research had been carried out on the preparation of silica composites from rice husk with Fe3O4 and its application to adsorption methylene blue dyes. Preparation materials were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDS and VSM. Silica adsorption on methylene blue dye was carried out with 2 variables, namely the influence of contact time and the effect of concentration. XRD diffractogram showed that sil…
