Utilizing Sludge and Industrial Waste Streams for Brick Fabrication

Abstract

In recent years, the construction industry has been seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional manufacturing process. This project aims to explore the feasibility and efficiency of utilizing waste materials such as dry sludge from water treatment plants (WTP), quarry dust, glass powder and fly ash in the production of bricks. These materials often considered as environmental burdens, hold potential for sustainable brick manufacturing due to their unique properties and abundance. Through a comprehensive review this journal will into the methodologies, and challenges associated with incorporating these waste materials in to brick production. This study aims to determine the optimal proportions and combinations of these waste materials to achieve desirable physical, mechanical and environment properties in the manufacture bricks. Key parameters including compressive strength, water absorption, fire resistance etc. will be assessed to evaluate the quality and performance of the bricks. The outcomes of this research have the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by promoting the adoption of sustainable practices and reducing reliance on finite natural resources, the contributing to the global efforts towards a more suitable future.
