Development of cement boards from coconut shell ash for energy and environment conservation
Abstract
This research aims to develop the cement board from coconut shell ash. The
Portland cement type1: fine sand: tap water ratio is equal to 1: 0.4: 0.33 by weight. The 5
ratios of Portland cement type1: coconut shell ash include 1: 0.12, 1: 0.13, 1: 0.14, 1:
0.15 and 1: 0.16 by weight. The cement board production uses the pressure casting in
normal temperature (30 – 35 degree of Celsius) and controls the 0.75 g/cm3 of density
then test the properties of cement-bonded fiberboard follow TIS 878-2537 standard
(cement bonded particle board: high density). From the results, 1: 0.12 is the most
suitable ratio of cement board from coconut shell ash. This developed cement boards
can reduce the quantity of coconut shell ash waste and have the good thermal
insulation.
