Ocher block has started to be studied recently as a new environment friendly alternative building material. This article investigates the use of Rice Husk Ask (RHA) as an additive to improve properties of the ocher block. Ocher mixtures incorporating various proportions of RHA were compared. Compressive strength at various ages of these ocher blocks was evaluated ad the resistance to wet environment was also examined. These test result help to determine the effect of RHA on such properties of the ocher block as compaction, mix proportion, compressive strength and water absorption indexes. Based on these results, the new alternative building material and low cost construction techniques might be developed through more intensive research efforts.

Environmental problems have showen over the past decades due to the rapid development of the world economy and the continued growth of the population. Ocher has been widely used for water treatment research, but few studies have been conducted on adsorption of air pollutants using ocher and porous diatomite earth for indoor air purification. In this study, ocher and diatomite earth were sintered with filters to remove indoor air pollutants. The four types of TMA, H₂S, NH₃ and CH₃COOH were used to study the adsorption efficiency of ocher and porous diatomite filters. With the proper use of ocher, diatomite and copper catalysts, indoor air pollutants could be adsorbed. Alkaline substances (TMA and NH₃) and acidic substances (H₂S and CH₃COOH) were able to adsorb at 120 and 90 minutes, respectively.

The ecofriendly yellow ocher is used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, construction, and food packaging. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used for manufacturing food containers has a microporous structure that causes aeration. Hydrophilic yellow ocher may be applied to hydrophobic PET by surface modification to overcome this issue. The aim of this study is to fabricate a yellow ocher polystyrene hybrid structure in the form of nanoparticles using an optimizing molar ratio of styrene, divinylbenzene, and potassium peroxodisulfate for use in emulsion polymerization. The polymerization was conducted in a yellow ocher suspension that was prepared by dispersing mechanically ground yellow ocher in DI water. The prepared hybrid structure was measured using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The measurement revealed the spherical morphology and Si component that resulted from the yellow ocher in the polystyrene particles. We expect that this hybrid structure would be used as platform material to minimize aeration in PET.

Functional hanji was manufactured using the bast fiber of Broussonetia kazinoki and various inorganic compounds such as kaolin, talc, elvan, and ocher, and the physical and optical properties were investigated. The residual percentages of kaolin, talc, elvan and ocher in the functional hanji were above 50%. The density of the hanji increased with the increase of the content of inorganic compounds. The hanji manufactured using ocher showed the highest density. The breaking length and burst factor decreased with the increase of inorganic materials, indicating that physical properties of hanji were not improved by adding inorganic materials. The emission rates of far-infrared radiation increased in the hanji manufactured using inorganic materials. The higher emission rates were observed in the hanji with elvan or ocher. Addition of inorganic compounds to hanji showed the flame retardative effect. The colorfastness to light of the hanji with elvan or ocher was the degree of 4, which explained by the characteristic color of the inorganics.
