Through environmental policies that provide a gradual discussion about the disposal of waste produced in the most diverse industrial sectors, sewage sludge is emphasized by the problematic destination of the toxic compounds that compose it, compromising its disposal. Based on the need to implement measures to mitigate environmental impacts through the production of eco-efficient materials, the application of the ashes of sanitary sewage sludge as a partial substitute for Portland cement is currently being used as a coating mortars study. This replacement has a focus, besides reducing the large volume of sludge generated by Sewage Treatment Plants, to allow an attenuation in the consumption of cement, a large CO2 generator during its manufacturing process. It could be observed that the use of the calcined residue applied in mortar, ratifies a relevant physical-mechanical performance to the material, which compared to the material without the use of it, has better results coming from its reactivity provided by action of the thermal process of degradation.
Based on the environmental assumptions that permeate the role of researchers in enabling the use of waste in consumer goods, using sewage sludge in human consumption material has become the object of worldwide study because of the potential that it carries. Aiming to fulfill the sustainable role through the creation of mechanisms that favor the ecological coexistence between environment and human beings, the use of the calcined sewage sludge as a potentiator in the properties of the material is made possible through the construction materials, behavior. Coating mortars are currently evaluated by exposing, from the replacement of the cement by the calcined material, an effective applicability with respect to its resistance to deleterious agents. It is understood that to idealize unconventional materials with the use of residues that have high degradation power to the environment, ratifies the attempt to mitigate large and irreversible environmental impacts arising from improper and poorly planned disposal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
