Fabrication and spectroscopic properties of tellurite glass containing rice husk
description One of the main components that play an important role in the building design is glass windows. The glass must possess good heat reflection properties to reduce heat enters the building. The aim of this study is to fabricate glass with incorporation of rice husk (RH) as additive materials. This method can be a fruitful solution to overcome the emerging issue by reflecting heat and lowering the temperature in the interior buildings by using eco-friendly materials to reduce waste. Tellurite glasses are used as host glass with the composition of 69.5Te0; - 20ZnO - 10Na0 0.5Er0% - 0.2 (X) RH, where X is the RH in the form of fibre and ash with distinctive sizes of 38 μm, 63 μm, 125 μm, 250 μm and 500 μm. Two series of glass have been prepared in which the first series of glass containing rice husk fibre (RHF) and the second series of glass containing rice husk ash (RHA).
