EXPRIMENTAL EXAMINATION OF CONCRETE MANUFACTURE WITH DYEING INDUSTRIAL WASTE SLUDGE AND COPPER SLAG BY USING TREATED WATER
Abstract
Now days in our country the construction activities are increasing day by day and the demand are highly in raise for materials such as natural sand, aggregates, raw materials etc. According to records of the Tamilnadu State Pollution Control Board (TNPCB), there are 830 units engaged in textile industrial processes in Tirupur. Due to its chemical and mineral content, these industrial solid wastes are found to be hazardous in the view of environmental consideration. Unsafe disposal of the solid waste may cause harmful effects on the environment & human beings. . Generated sludge mostly disposed in landfill and dumping in the specified areas. Copper slag is one of the materials that is considered as a byproduct (waste material) obtained during the smelting and refining of copper. It is generated from the sterlite, Thoothukudi. It has the physical properties similar to fine aggregate. It is mostly disposed by landfills. In the last few decades there has been rapid increase in the waste ma terial by-product. Some of the industrial by-product like GGBS, fly ash, silver slag, steel slag, and silica fume has been successfully replaced for cement and concrete in the constructional industry. It reduces the consumption of natural resources. In this study, an attempt was made to reutilize the sludge from dying text ile industry and copper slag as a partial replacement of cement and sand and to provide solution for improper disposal methods. By the replacement of 0 to 30% of dying industrial waste slu dge (by weight) as replacement for cement and by the replacement of 40% copper slag (by weight) as replacement for fine aggregate will produce a beam with good durability.
