formula [(ZnO)55 + (WRHA)45]100-X[MnO2]X, (where X = 0, 1, and wt%) was prepared by conventional melt quenching technique The glass samples were characterized using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy The results revealed that by increasing the concentration of MnO2, the color of glass samples changed from colorless to brown and the density of glass increased XRD results showed that a broad halo peak

attention because of its high amount of silica content Generally, in Malaysia for each 1000 kg of paddy milled, 220 kg (22%) of rice husk will be produced The subsequent burning of the rice husk will generate about 55 kg (25%) of rice husk ash (RHA) [1] RHA have many good properties such as high porosity, high external surface area, lightweight, and high in silica content inform of amorphous materials (87–97%) and a few metallic impurities [2,3] Rice husk is an agricultural waste material that is renewable and has low bulk density Unfortunately, this waste is left to rot slowly in the field or burnt in an open space Many suggest that recycling of the waste is the best way compared to these unsafe disposals procedure several advantages such as resources and energy saving, reduces

Nowadays, various researchers have done many works toward utilizations of the waste materials in various industries and as an additive in manufacturing some products [7] Specifically, RHA had been used for development of advanced materials and utilization in many areas Different processing techniques and treatments were employed and effect of various parameters were studied [8,9] Currently, a considerable amount of literature has been published on the use of glass in a wide range of applications in many industries such as automotive, aerospace, electrical, electronic and telecommunication Therefore, intensive research has been carried out in order to improve the properties of the glass, reduce the cost of the material and at the same lower the fabrication cost These motivate researchers to developed new fabrication techniques and utilization of waste materials for better wealth and clean environment Therefore, the aforementioned objectives could be achieved using RH, which is available and abundant and will definitely lower the cost of final products In 2011, Ruangtaweep and coworkers fabricate a glass using 55SiO2 from RHA with the different formula of 20 Na2O, 13 B2O3, 6.3 CaO, 1.0 Al2O3, 0.2 Sb2O3, and 4.5 BaO by melt quenching method at 1100 °C The results of the study indicated that the density of glass derived from RHA is larger than pure SiO2 The

husk used in this research was obtained from Tanjung Karang, Selangor, Malaysia To prepare the white RHA, the husks was thoroughly washed with tap water up to three times to remove adhering soil and dust Later the husk was rinsed with distilled water to remove dirt and aqueous soluble substances by repeated stirring and decanting until the aqueous wash turned clear The cleaned RH was then dried in an oven at 100 °C for 24 h The RH samples were later transferred into an electric furnace for a double stage heating process at 500 °C for h and 900 °C for h The burnt samples could cool to room temperature as seen in the temperature cycle curve in Fig 104 Preparation of ZnO-WRHA glasses 115 The pure powder of ZnO was mixed with WRHA The mixture was doped with MnO2 in different ratio (X = 0, 1, 3, and wt%) ascribed to the empirical formula [(ZnO)55 + (WRHA)45]100-X[MnO2]X Dried milling process was carried out on the mixture for 20 h to get homogenous powder Each batch of the samples was

absorption peak were examined after doping RHA with different concentration of MnO2 from 0.0 to 1.0 mol% The findings revealed that the color of the glass changes from colorless to brown by a gradual increase of MnO2 concentration Both density and reflective index were also increased with the increasing of MnO2 concentration, largely, due to the altered atomic volume and an atomic mass of the glass [11] The focus of this study is to improve the properties of glasses using white rice husk ash (WRHA) as a source of SiO2 by preparing zinc silicate glasses doped with MnO2 using conventional melt and quenching method The physical, structure and optical properties of MnO2 doped zinc silicate glasses have been characterized to study the effect of various concentrations of MnO2 on the glass

The XRD patterns of the sample are presented in Fig The pattern exhibits a sharp Bragg’s peaks at a low angle region, which is apparent to the crystalline phase of silica after RHA, have been heated to 900 °C The figure also indicated different peaks of crystalline components in the phase of cristobalite crystal (SiO2) with the most intense peak at 22.049° and obviously, the weak peaks at 28.451°, 31.543°, and 36.202°, respectively The major chemical functional groups present in WRHA are identified by the FTIR and the spectra are shows in Fig Looking at the figure, the band at 3037.81 cm1 was due to OH groups and absorbed water [14] The predominant absorbance peak at 1606.66 cm1 belonged to H-O-H bending vibration Besides, the band at 1054.85 cm1 is assigned to the (Si-O-Si) asymmetry stretching vibrations [15] Finally, there are two sharp bands at 783.22 and 441.85 cm1 assigned to Si-O-Si symmetric stretching and bending vibration respectively The results of the FTIR confirmed the presence of SiO2 in WRHA, which agreed well with the XRD analysis 160 Properties of MnO2 doped ZnO-WRHA glasses 161 Fig shows the density of ZnO-WRHA glasses at different concentration of MnO2 (0, 1, and wt%) The results in the figure showed that the density of the ZnO-WRHA glass increased from 2.885 to 3.253 g/cm3 with increased of MnO2 at 0, 1, and wt % This increased in density is related to the atomic mass of Mn (54.938 a.m.u) which is heavier when compared with other elements presence in the WRHA sample such as Si (28.086 a.m.u), Na (22.989 a.m.u), and Ca (40.078 a.m.u) [16] In addition, other researchers related this development to the figuration of the new linkages inside the glass sample [17] X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for all ZnO-WRHA glasses system at various percentages of MnO2 is shown in Fig From the spectra, there is no strong sharp peak but one a broad halo peak in the pattern of the un-doped and MnO2 doped ZnO-WRHA based 139 140 141 142 143

reflected glass or amorphous nature of the samples In addition, the glass under investigation has a long-range structural disorder The structure of all the glasses samples was determined with the aid of FESEM as shown in Fig The results revealed the presence of fine pores on the ZnO-WRHA glass in an undoped sample Despite the absence of a particular form of grain after doped, but in general, the surface morphology shows a decrease in the number of pores with increasing the percentage of MnO2 As seen in the microstructural image of the samples prepared at different percentage of MnO2, the Mn resort to occupy interstitial sites within the structure of the glass The lattice constant of glass increased slightly with increasing concentration of MnO2, which leads to increase of the degree of agglomeration that can be observed by comparing the surface morphology in Fig 6(a-d) [18] The spectrums from FTIR results are shown in Fig and it was analyzed and compared with the relative information in the literature [19,20] The effective range of the spectrum observed from 400 to 1250 cm1, with the prominent band at 902.4 cm1 ascribed to Si-O-Si stretching in non-bridging oxygen [21] This peak indicates the presence of SiO4 in the sample The result from FTIR is in good agreement with the result of XRD spectroscopy, which revealed an amorphous phase for the entire glass samples On the other hand, the peak at 1200–4000 cm1 was clearly due to the presence of water, hydroxyl, Si-OH or similar groups [22] Therefore, the bands at 1555.85 could indicate Si-O or Mn-O, which gives rise to an IR peak The peak at 3032.79 could be attributed present H-bonding of H2O Furthermore, Zhang and Jahanshahi suggests that this band might ascribe to absorb moisture from the air [23] The analysis of the optical absorption spectra is useful to locate the width to the band gap in order to identify the substance from the spectrum emitted or absorbance light in the material [24] The optical absorbance of the MnO2 doped zinc silicate glasses is shown in Fig As shown from the absorption curve, there is no big sharp absorption edge, which dictates the presence glass phase From the

The XRD confirmed the formation of the amorphous glassy phase in the samples The results from FTIR agreed with the XRD pattern with a band at 902.4 cm1, which was attributed to Si-O-Si stretching in
