Description

The reuses of industrial wastes will help in solving the environmental pollution issues associated with their disposal, but it will also increase the preservation of natural resources that are reducing rapidly. Sludge produced by toothpaste business units contains a significant amount of calcium carbonate which is not good for discharging openly. The major objective of this study is to investigate the effects of using waste from Toothpaste Industry Waste (TIW) on the characteristics strength of concrete and bricks in order to determine the optimum replacement %age for utilization of waste. Sludge from toothpaste industry is a serious concern because of lack of suitable disposal sites. The waste management of TIW can be resolved after this study.

The concrete made of toothpaste sludge as a partial substitute for sand, with varying replacement of sand by 5% to 25%. It has been found that concrete manufactured replacing 15% of sand shows good compressive strength in the M20 category. However, using TIW to partially substitute cement in concrete gives very poor results.
