The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of Textile ETP and Tannery sludges and strength characteristics of cement-sludge mortar. The textile Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and tannery sludges have the potential to become a serious environmental burden for Bangladesh in the future because of their high rate of generation, with a very limited safe disposal option. On the other hand, day by day the demand and price of cement are increasing. This study was devoted to evaluate the technical feasibility of utilizing textile ETP and tannery sludges in cement mortar both as separate and mixed modes. An attempt was taken to replace 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of cement in mortar with textile ETP and tannery sludges both as a separate and mixed modes. To evaluate the characteristics of the textile ETP and tannery sludges, the pH, moisture content, organic matter content, chemical composition (XRF), TCLP (Heavy Metal) tests were studied. The initial and final setting time, compressive strength, tensile strength, and water absorption of mortar by partial replacement of cement by textile ETP and tannery sludges both as separate and mixed modes were studied to evaluate the properties of cement-sludge mortar. It was found that the textile ETP and tannery sludges both as separate and mixed modes can be a replacement of cement up to 10% in cement mortar and can be used for the purposes of S-type of mortar. The textile ETP sludge as a separate and mixed modes of the sludges can be a replacement of cement up to 20% and can be used for the purposes of N-type of mortar.

“…However, there was a considerable loss in strength for higher replacement levels. Jeevanandam et al [12] reused textile effluent treatment plant (ETP) sludge in substituting cement in conventional cement mortar. Cement in the mortar was replaced by sludge from 0% to 60% with an interval of 10%.…”

The rapid growth of textile industries in Ethiopia plays an important role in economic development. However, the sludge from these wastewater treatment plants, which is not an integral part of the treatment process, is often considered hazardous as it is contaminated with heavy metals of dyestuffs and chemicals. The customary transfer routines such as landfilling and incineration may not be suitable because the leachate from the landfilling destinations and the buildups from the incinerators lead to optional contamination. Moreover, such transfer choices are not financially practical. Therefore, there is a growing need to look for various applications of sludge handling for sustainable development. This study attempts to find out an environmentally friendly solution for the management of the textile sludge by incinerating the sludge and using it for partial replacement of cement in concrete production. Concrete is a composite material formed by the combination of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water in a particular proportion so that concrete produced meets the needs regarding its workability, strength, durability, and economy. Typical textile sludge was having high heavy metal contents as per the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) guideline and should be properly disposed of. The sludge upon incineration at 625°C for four hours gives 78.1% moisture content, 61.2% volatile organic matter, and 59.6% inorganic ash content. The main reactive oxide elements such as SiO2, Fe2O3, CaO, and Al2O3 were found to be 18.51, 3.19, 23.87, and 12.73% by weight in the ash. The calorific value determined from the dried sludge were found to be 1973 cal/gm. Concrete block was manufactured by replacement of cement with 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% incinerated textile sludge ash, and the manufactured block was evaluated in terms of their compressive strengths, leaching behavior, and water absorption. The replacement cement by the ash increases the hydration time reduced, and up to 20%, sludge ash incorporation in the concrete mix design gives the designed compressive strength. Eventhough water absorption increases with increasing content of the incorporation of the ash, for the 20% replacement of cement, the lethal concentration of heavy metals was obtained to be below the permissible limit set by USEPA. Consequently, the experiment work indicates that the potential use of textile sludge ash for cement concrete gives the possibilities of reduction of heavy metal contamination to surroundings upon sludge disposal, reduces the use of raw materials for producing cement and reduces environmental pollution during cement production.

“…Thus, it has been a must to explore an alternative soil stabilizer such as sustainable materials which can be defined as an industrial waste like (rice ash, cement kiln dust, fly ash, sewage sludge, paper sludge, and textile sludge). The process of sustainability in our field can be defined as a periodic process of extracting minerals from nature by a human for industrial activities and giving it back as industrial by-products to be reused in soil stabilization for enhancement the undesirable geotechnical properties [5].Textile sludge is one of the sustainable materials that produced from the wastewater of textile industry, with the rapid increase of sludge around the world it became urgent to find cost efficient way to reduce and reuse sludge, a lot of researches concerned with the reuse of textile sludge in many applications in civil engineering, such as manufacture of clay bricks [6], as an additives in concrete [7], manufacture of ceramic bricks [8], and as a sub-grade material in the roadway [9]. Textile sludge also used as a fertilizer in agriculture field and in energy production of biogas [10].…”

At the present time the disposal of industrial wastes has become a challenge for most countries. This research aims to study the effect of mixing the industrial textile sludge on geotechnical properties of collapsible soil. The experimental program studies the effect of textile wastes on Atterberg limits, collapse potential, compaction, CBR, and shear strength parameters. The percentages of textile wastes mixed with soil are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 %. The results indicated that the collapse potential of untreated soil is significantly decreased from about 11% to 2.6% at 24% of textile sludge. Shear test results show an increase in cohesion and decrease in the internal friction angle. For Atterberg limits there was an increase in liquid limit. For Compaction results, it is noticed a decrease in maximum dry density and an increase in optimum moisture content. CBR values for all samples indicates the suitability of using soil and soil-sludge mixtures only in subgrade layer of pavement. It was found that the reuse of textile sludge with collapsible soils considers an economic method to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, in addition, it could be considered as sustainable management of textile sludge which leads to a reduction in the consumption of natural resources and preserves the surrounding environment through decreasing the retention of these wastes to a minimum.
