Experimental Study on Bricks Using Water Treatment Sludge
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Sludge resulting from water treatment plants creates problems of disposal. The sludge generated in most of the treatment systems around the world is discharged into the nearest watercourse, which leads to accumulative rise of aluminium concentrations in water and human bodies. The reuse of sludge as brick material is a long-term approach to sludge disposal for economic and environmental sustainability. The water treatment plant sludge is extremely close to brick clay in chemical composition. So, the sludge could be a potential substitute for brick clay. The objective of this study is to identify the possibilities of using the sludge obtained from water treatment plant. The properties such as crushing strength, water absorption and weight loss on ignition were carried out for various proportions. The results were compared with the standard limits.
