Abstract

Abstract:- It is well known the fact that any type of waste or residue that is receive from several production cycles, farming, or any household sector that cannot be utilized is an undesirable material. It is necessary to get rid of such useless material. This waste causes adverse effects on the climate. Such waste also gives rise to various bacterial and virus disease that affects the health of all the creatures in this planet including humans, and animals. One of the major of them is sludge that is the waste left from the sewage treatment plant. It is a semi-solid material that remains as a byproduct in the sewage treatment plant. In many countries, this sludge has become a major challenge due to its high treatment cost and its danger to both climate and humans. The spreading of sludge is one of the prominent problems in both small and big countries and even in small to big cities as they are facing a shortage of land where they can dispose this sludge, and its related cost to dump it together with the concern of the sludge that it may affect the environment. This work is based on the utilization of this sludge to manufacture bricks. The concept involves the mixing of sewage sludge in different portions from 20, 30, 40 up to 50 by weights and making them with any standard dirt brick organization. As per the specialized guidelines, 40% mixing of sludge with other materials was important for making such bricks. A brick that contains more than 30% of the sludge was not chosen because they were brittle and so not fit for use in any construction. Such bricks were broken easily with hands if not operated carefully and its color was also not as per set standards. From this research and investigation, this work can easily solve the disposable problem that every country is facing and can also improve its economical structure. Keyword: Brick manufacturing, Environmental waste, FlyAsh, Sludge content, material strength.
