Development of Bricks and Concrete by Utilizing Waste from Paper Industry

Abstract

Due to the increase in population and change in lifestyle of human beings, more newlineand more industries are being setup almost everywhere in this world. Although these newlineindustries are catering to the basic needs of human beings, but consequently it is newlineleading towards the proliferation of huge waste in the environment in the form of newlinepolluted water, air, and hazardous waste. There are numbers of methods to treat the newlinewastewater and toxic gases, but all treatment methods result in the generation of newlinehazardous waste i.e., simply the conversion of waste from liquid form or gaseous form newlineinto solid waste. In addition to this solid waste is also generated by the industrial units newlinein the form of process residues etc. For sustainable development and to provide newlinepollution free environment to human beings, environmentally safe effective disposal newlinemethods for these hazardous wastes are required to be evolved. On the other hand, due newlineto the intense increase in population in recent years, there is consequently a growth in newlinemarket for construction projects mainly residential buildings and thus increasing newlinepressure for extraction and consumption of natural resources causing their acute newlineshortage. Soil, stone aggregates, sand, bitumen, cement, etc. are the prime materials newlineused for construction. newlineEnvironmental conservation is not only the responsibility of industrial sectors, newlinebut in view of market competitiveness and to meet more stringent environmental laws, newlineproactive and concrete actions from the industry are required to preserve the newlineenvironment. This demand promotes the minimization of environmental impacts newlinethrough the use of cleaner technologies that reduce waste generation and increase its newlinereuse. The use of such technologies leads to the utilization of wastes, energy savings, newlineand other gains. To achieve a sustainable environment and to meet the increasing newlinerequirement for construction material, it is very significant to clinch a symbiotic newlinerelationship between industries generating waste and the construction industries. newline
