Utilizing Sludges from Tanneries, Water Treatment Plants and Textile Industries in Cement, Concrete and Brick Production: A Review
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 2 (2024) pp. 135-143
Abstract
The abstract describes the use of industrial sludges from tanneries, water treatment plants, and textile companies to make cement, concrete, and bricks. It emphasizes the potential of this methodology to deal with industrial sludge disposal difficulties and contribute to eco-friendly industrialization by discovering novel reuse ways for these by-products.
