Abstract:
This study explores the innovative reuse of chemical sludge generated from effluent treatment processes in paint manufacturing industries for sustainable brick production. The chemical sludge, typically considered hazardous waste, was characterized for its physical and chemical properties and incorporated into clay-based brick formulations. Laboratory tests assessed the mechanical strength, water absorption, and thermal conductivity of the resulting bricks. The findings revealed that up to a certain percentage of sludge incorporation improved brick durability while reducing environmental impact. This approach not only diverts industrial waste from landfills but also promotes circular economy principles in construction materials. The research demonstrates a viable pathway for transforming industrial by-products into value-added products, contributing to sustainable development and waste minimization.
