Study of Utilization of Waste Water in Concrete

Abstract

The Efficient water use is one of the most important requirement of cleaner production and the use of wastewater in concrete production important means to this end. However there are no studies of quality of concrete plant wastewater. and the activities in which water can be used. This paper aim to evaluate the quality of concrete plant wastewater and to propose guidelines for its treatment for non potable application. The type of water used for the mixing did not affect the concrete slump and density. However setting time were found to increase with water quality deteriorating. Because of scarcity of potable water it is very important to use this treated waste water in concrete in our industry. Keywords:
