Building insulation materials based on agricultural wastes
Gaspar, Florindo; Bakatovich, Aliaksandr; Davydenko, Nadezhda; Joshi, ArpanEcological insulation materials of vegetable raw materials are increasingly widespread. The agricultural wastes can have an interesting role because their use allows the revaluation of agricultural wastes, whose disposal is a serious issue. This chapter gives an overview about the use of agricultural wastes on insulating materials. The source and characteristics of various types of wastes are described. The man...
Thermal insulating plates produced on the basis of vegetable agricultural waste
Bakatovich, Aliaksandr; Davydenko, Nadezhda; Gaspar, FlorindoThe results of comparative tests of thermal insulating materials on the basis of various agricultural wastes are presented. Rye straw, barley straw, wheat straw, oats straw, rice straw, flax boon and rice husk were used in the experimental program along with three types of binders (liquid glass, emulsion of PVA and latex). Plates prepared with rye straw and flax boon fibers and liquid glass as a binder have the...
