In many countries, Sludge waste especially, textile sludge is a serious problem which risks environment and human health. The textile sludge is used to make the construction bricks that serve as resolve for solid waste management. This paper reviews on the development of interlocking bricks with addition of textile sludge which includes 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% that grossly reduces the utility of clay which is gradually becoming scarce in many parts of the world while improving their strength in comparison in that of conventional bricks. The interlocking mould size that we took for this experiment was 12 X 8.5 X 6.The test parameters include compression strength, water absorption, efflorescence and soundness are studied and tested as per BOI (Bureau of Indian standards). Thus, the utilization of sludge could produce a good quality of bricks making them one of a reliable alternative disposal methods for the sludge which dumped in open lands and also reduces the use of cement while construction in this interlocking brick method. This study analyse the strength of the interlocking bricks when it is mixed with textile sludge.
Keywords: ETP textile sludge. 1. INTRODUCTION Population scenario comes towards India by means of increasing industries. The fruitful efforts of industries lead to the development of India. As the industries increases, so does the industrial effluents. Recent studies estimate that the amount of industrial waste might amount approximately between 250 and 300 million tons emanating from chemical and agricultural process in India. It is very essential to dispose such wastes in an absolutely safe manner without disturbing the environment and human wellbeing. Build-up of unmanaged wastes particularly in developing countries has endangered their environment. In view of this situation, use of economic and environmental-friendly materials is of a great concern in the construction industry. The use of recyclable wastes as building materials looks like a viable solution not only to the pollution problem but also benefits the economy in the form of cost-effective buildings. Several investigators have already attempted to include sludge such as paper processing residues, cigarette butts, fly ash, polystyrene foam, plastic fibre, cotton waste, dried sludge collected from an industrial wastewater treatment plant, rice husk ash, granulated blast furnace slag, rubber, Kraft pulp production residue, limestone dust and wood sawdust, processed waste tea, petroleum effluent treatment plant sludge, welding flux slag and waste paper pulp, Cotton and limestone powder wastes in the use of textile sludge in the process of interlocking production of bricks. In this paper we are investigating the brick manufacture and its strength compared to that of existing conventional bricks. The nondegradable used material was utilized for utility-based product. The efforts have been taken to utilize the powdered textile sludge in conventional burnt clay brick thereby revolutionizing the manufacture of interlocking bricks in the field of construction.
