Properties and environmental features of bricks made from textile waste sludge

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a lot of attention paid to the use of textile sludge waste-based products in the building industry to develop ecologically friendly construction materials. An experimental examination of the characteristics of bricks incorporating textile sludge waste and fly ash is presented in this work. In fly ash bricks, fly ash is used to replace textile sludge waste in the following proportions: For the blend percentage of cement, fly ash, and quarry dust, a 230mm x 100mm x 75mm sample size was used. For varying amounts of the components indicated previously, the findings indicate how compressive strength and water absorption fluctuate with curing age. Then we can cast bricks with various mixed proportions of cement, sludge waste, fly ash, and quarry dust using the 230mm x 100mm x 75mm specimen size. After that, the weight, compressive strength, and water absorption of textile sludge with different concentrations of fly ash bricks were compared. This inquiry is primarily concentrated on maximizing the compressive strength of newly produced bricks while limiting weight density and water absorption through extensive laboratory work. The recognition of elements influencing the diverse qualities of bricks is a clear purpose of pursuing this issue as project work.
