SIEVING (passing from # 200 sieve)
Ash collected
Unburnt and black carbon particles effect the
pozzolanic properties of bagasse ash (A. Bahurudeen
et al. 2014).
Ash retained
Ash was sieved with sieve # 200 and ash retained over
sieve was discarded.
Passed ash has surface area (2137 cm2/gm.) less than
cement (2670.3 cm2/gm). Therefore, grinding is
required.

Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
TGA is the weight loss of a test sample due to decomposition Ramadhansyah et al., (2012).
Conclusions
Bagasse ash mixes showed better consistency and workability than CM.
Water absorption and Sorptivity values decreased with increase in the amount of bagasse ash.
Bagasse ash mixes are more effective in resisting acid attack as compared with CM.
Likewise the compressive strength, the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity increased with increased in
bagasse ash percentage.
Research can be commenced on some more agro-waste products, like corn, bamboo and
sorghum, either as an individual pozzolan or with the blend of two or more.
Silica contents in any agro-waste product depends on the silica available in soil and capacity of
plant to fix it, therefore, bagasse ash of different areas could be used for the research and their
comparative evaluation may be drawn.
Feasibility of bagasse ash as use in cement mortar for brick masonry and plaster need to be
evaluated.
