Analysis of Morphological and Elemental Composition in Rice, Beans, and Groundnut Husk
Main Article Content
Abstract
The morphological characteristics and elemental composition of these agricultural products provides insights into their nutritional value, chemical properties, and potential industrial applications, contributing to advancements in food science, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. The comprehensive analysis of the morphological and elemental composition of three widely consumed agricultural products: rice, beans, and groundnut husk as a partial substitute for sand due to its high content of calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron, and other elements when properly controlled. Transforming them into practical materials in order to reduce their detrimental impact on the environment. An equal weight of 50 g of Rice husk, 25 g of bean husk, and 25 g of groundnut shell were measured out of 100 g of untreated samples and oven dried at 1000C for 4 hours. The samples were the crushed to fine particle and sieve, which was burned at a temperature of 5500C in an electric furnace for 4 hours. The result obtained microscopic techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Energy Disperse X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used to observe the surface and element presence in RBGH. The result among other things shows that untreated RBGH atomic concentration of Si is 65.79%, K is 16.01.53%, P is 5.14% Ca is 3.36% and Mg is 3.35% respectively, and the SEM shows that it has a porous cellular structure and consists of irregular-shape particles. The findings shed light on the potential industrial applications of these agricultural byproducts
