Feasibility study of using Fly Ash Brick made from Reclaimed Sand Dust Waste and Quarry Dust Waste

Abstract

In India, Metal Casting Industry are one of the oldest and distributed sector. Most of this industry preferred sand casting molding system for casting of metal. A large quantity of sand waste is generated by reclamation process in cyclone separator and bag filter. This generated sand waste is disposed in landfill site and dumping site. Disposal of sand dust waste causes environmental pollution. Thus reclaimed sand dust waste has become an environmental menace. The paper here presents utilization of RSDW (Reclaimed sand dust Waste) in fly ash brick as a replacement material of fly ash. RSDW is replaced with fly ash in different proportions like 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. In this paper detail discussion of compressive test and result is represented.
