USE OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER IN CONCRETE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Water is a basic need of living beings. So, everyone should be benefited with quality
and quantity water. Oceans hold over 97 percent of the world's water, while freshwater makes
up only 3 percent. Moreover, freshwater is not distributed equally across land surfaces, and
there are some densely populated nations where freshwater is scarce. On other hand, concrete
industry consumes large amount of water in mixing of mortar, mixing of concrete and even in
curing which otherwise can be used for drinking purpose. Construction industry is second
largest industry in India which consumes major amount of water. Waste water gets mixed with
the surface water after discharging it from industries. It tends to reduce the quality of surface
water which is sometimes get consumed by humans for drinking purpose. Bad quality of water
may affect the health of human beings and aquatic life also. Water shortage is becoming a
global issue these days. And more efforts should be made to fix this issue. As a result, using
waste water released from various types of companies or sites in the building sector may assist
to alleviate the problem of water shortage. This project intends to demonstrate how treated
waste water may be used in the construction sector while reducing the environmental impact.
While building concrete, waste water collected from dairies, car wash centres, sewage
treatment plants, and other locations is utilised as a 100 percent substitute. After casting and
curing with oil industry water for 7, 14, and 28 days, cubes are intended to be assessed against
compression stress.
