    This research plan aims to synthesize and characterize a composite of alumina and silica from rice husk using both conventional and microwave heating. The objectives are to produce the composite material for ceramic manufacturing and compare the different heating methods. The experiment procedures involve preparing rice husk ash samples, sintering mixtures of alumina oxide and silica from rice husk at varying temperatures using furnace and microwave heating, and characterizing the samples using SEM and XRD. The expected outcome is that microwave heating can reduce synthesis times and yield improved material properties compared to conventional heating.

    A. INTRODUCTION

    Today, the whole world is suffering from two types of problem, i.e.
    disappearance of virgin resources and the production of excess waste. From the
    perspectives of the economies, energy needs, and environments of developing as well as
    developed nation, the only way to eliminate these problems is to utilize these wastes in
    the main streams of production. In accordance with this realization, every production
    sector is looking to raise its income by using waste as a resource in its products.
    Similarly, the ceramics industry is lso seeking to utilize waste in its productions. Much
    research has been conducted in last few decades to achieve this gol of the ceramic
    industry [1,2]. Ceramics have some distinctive properties not offered by metals,
    including good chemical inetness, high-temperature stability, brittleness, a high melting
    point, and an electrical insulation capability. Due to these properties, ceramics offer a
    wide range of applications for modern society.
    In a broad sense, ceramics can be regarded as refractories, glass, tiles, sanitary
    ware, tableware, and ceramics for electrical applications [15]. In all these industries,
    silica (SiO2) is the most important ingredient for productions. Due to the massive use of
    silica in ceramic products, silica is believed to be the backbone of the ceramic industry
    [16]. Most manufacturers use silica sand, gravel, sandstone granite, quartz and quartzite
    as asilica source for the manufacture of ceramics [17]. All these sources of silica are
    found in nature. With the use of these raw materials, our problem remains the same, i.e.
    a loss of virgin raw materials. Therefore, the whole world is looking toward waste
    utilization to obtain silica. Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is found to be the most promising
    waste to serve as a potential silica source. As we known, huge amounts of rice husks
    (RHs) are produced annually in the world as an agricultural byproduct of rice threshing.
    RHs have been proved to be an economical and promising raw material for producing
    SiC, due to high surface area and intimate contact available for carbon and silica.8)12)
    (sensei) (fabricated) .
    In addition to the Silica, Alumina is also the most widely used oxide ceramics
    because of its hardness, good corrosion resistance, high insulation and ease of
    processing [1,2} material). Composite of alumina and silica (SiO2), which has been
    known including kyanite, andalusite, silimanite and mullite. From these four minerals,
    mullite has stability under heat and pressure which is higher than the others (3) (efek
    mic (paknyom) . There are some steps for manufacturing of ceramic product, sintering
    process is one of the most important and crucial part in fabricating ceramic component.
    In fact, most of the ceramic component that fabricated via plastic forming and powder
    route for the variety applications must undergo this sintering steps [4]. (material). The
    sintering process has long been known conventionally by using fuel wood, gas and
    electricity for heating material. However, Microwave sintering has emerged in recent
    years as a new method for sintering a variety of materials. Microwave sintering is a
    heating system that uses radiation microwaves usually 2.45 GHz, it works so fast and
    efficiently penetrate and excite molecules material evenly. The process does not require
    heat conduction like an usual oven.

    B. OBJECTIVE

    The objective of this study is to synthesis and characterization composite of


    alumina (Al2O3) and silica (SiO2) from rice husk which is uses as a basic material for
    ceramic manufacture and to compare the result between conventional and microwave
    heating.

    C. EXPERIMENT PROCEDURES

    1. Sample Preparation
    First, washing the rice husk use distilled water to eliminate dirt. Dry and
    carbonization openly. The result of rice husks that have been carbonized then
    furnaced in oven with temperature 600 oC to homogenize the rice husk ash .
    After furnaced, weigh 50 gr of rice husk ash for each treatment. Mix rice husk
    ash with 500 mL HCl 1M then stirred and let stand for 1 hour to deposition
    process. After 1 hour, filter the solution by filter paper, take the sediment and
    drying at room temperature ± 25oC. Mix the sediment with 500 mL NaOh 2M,
    heat using hot plate at temperature 150 oC - 200 oC and stir it up using stirrer
    magnetic for 1 hour so that homogeneous mixing will be obtained. Filter the mid
    materials using whatman filter paper No.41 , then obtained the solution of
    Silicate (Na2SiO3) . Titration Silicate (Na 2SiO3) using HCl or NaOH by
    constant stirring until the sediment is neutral i.e. reaches a PH of 7, then the
    filtrate is let stand for 18 hours. Filter and wash the filtrate using aquabidest to
    neutral. Put silic sediment into oven for drying process at 105 oC for 12 hours.
    Mash and sieve silica with size 100 mesh.

    2. Sintering Experiment
    For sample manufacture, weighing alumina oxide and silic fom rice husk
    with ratio 95% : 5% using digital balance . Put sample into beaker , mix with
    water sufficiently and stir using stirrer magnetic until well blended . Mix the
    powder obtained with polyvinyl alcohol, then pellet using hydrolic press.
    Sintering usng furnace and microwave with temperature variations of 900 oC,
    1000 oC and 1100 oC.

    3. Characterization
    Sintered sample further characterized using Scanning Electron
    Microscopy (SEM) to see the microstructure of the sample and X Ray
    Diffraction (XRD) to identify the crystanility of the sample.

    D. EXPECTED OUTCOME

    Shynthesis conditions for producing silica materials – such as size , shape,


    porous structure – are presently well established (10,11). However most of the
    published procedures are time intensive , because they are produced under conventional
    hrating and the nucleation growing and ageing processes requirements can range from
    hours to several days. In order to solve this problem, by using microwave heating
    method expected can be use as a feasible alternative to notably reduce synthesis times,
    yielding reproducible solids with even improved properties compared to those obtained
    under conventional conditions (12,15).
