Abstract

Rice husk is one of the agro-waste that is causing environmental pollution worldwide. The work have provided new information on the rice husk waste management for potential used as anti-corrosion and wear resistance of coating of mild steel. The rice husk was turned into rice husk nanoparticle (RHAnp), Epoxy-2wt% RHAnp was developed on the mild steel surface, corrosion, wear and hardness test were used to determine the coating performances. It was established in this work that waste rice husk can be used to increases the coating thickness, polarization resistance and hardness values, decreases the coefficient of friction, corrosion rate and wear rate of epoxy coated mild steel.
