The chemical treatment method adopted in common effluent treatment plants to treat Textile industrial waste water produces large quantity of chemical coagulant sludge. The magnitude of problem of dumping solid waste creates another kind of pollution. Hence a way is to be found to reduce the extent of pollution through the chemical coagulant sludge and make use of the sludge profitably. In this context, a laboratory scale study was conducted for using the chemical coagulant sludge for manufacturing of concrete building blocks and analyzing the leachates by immersing the blocks at different pH water.

Abstract


The chemical treatment method adopted in common effluent treatment plants to treat Textile industrial waste water produces large quantity of chemical coagulant sludge. The magnitude of problem of dumping solid waste creates another kind of pollution. Hence a way is to be found to reduce the extent of pollution through the chemical coagulant sludge and make use of the sludge profitably. In this context, a laboratory scale study was conducted for using the chemical coagulant sludge for manufacturing of concrete building blocks and analyzing the leachates by immersing the blocks at different pH water.
