The wastewater from tannery and textile industry can be used for construction purpose, so as to reduce shortage of water and to safeguard the environment. The basic properties of the treated and untreated wastes from both the tannery and textile industry were tested and the results were satisfactory for their use in construction. By using these wastewaters, cubes and cylinders were casted and tested for compressive strength and split tensile strength. The results were compared with the specimens casted with potable water and were found to be satisfactory.

Abstract


The wastewater from tannery and textile industry can be used for construction purpose, so as to reduce shortage of water and to safeguard the environment. The basic properties of the treated and untreated wastes from both the tannery and textile industry were tested and the results were satisfactory for their use in construction. By using these wastewaters, cubes and cylinders were casted and tested for compressive strength and split tensile strength. The results were compared with the specimens casted with potable water and were found to be satisfactory.
