This study is carried out to find wastewater quality index in treated wastewater, and Statistical analysis was done in various collected samples in sewage treatment plant, Panjappur, Trichy. This study presents a Statistical analysis of the physicochemical parameters of sewage wastewater. Nearly twenty parameters of two different months were analysed using data from physico -chemical analyses. A Continuous Waste Water Quality Index (CWWQI) was established to gauge the overall state of treated wastewater quality. By taking into account previously set quality limitation norms, the index condenses a substantial number of measured quality characteristics into a single water quality term. To identify treatment process performance, the interdependencies between the variables were determined by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This study presents Factor analysis to identify the pollution and its type. The methods and approaches discussed in this study offer a framework for evaluating the monitoring programme for wastewater treatment.

“…One of the coal combustion products (CCPs) produced by coal burning power plants is fly ash, which has significant concentrations of elements that could be hazardous to the environment. Fly ash is a useful supplemental material that can be used in place of cement in the manufacturing of concrete and bricks, according to a significant number of ongoing research projects [16,17]. Table 1 summarises the typical chemical composition of fly ash and regular Portland cement.…”

Cement clay interlocking (CCI) hollow bricks have been used as a construction material in many developed and developing countries. Many emerging and underdeveloped nations have utilised cement clay interlocking (CCI) hollow bricks as building materials. In India, Andhra Pradesh local makers prepare these cement clay interlocking (CCI) hollow bricks by simply mixing clay, cement, and sand in a traditional method, without following strict design criteria or rules. Previous research has demonstrated that the mechanical characteristics of CCI hollow bricks gathered from various locations in detailed manner respect to hand books on Civil Engineering as per Indian Standards. Bricks from one region had compressive strengths that were significantly lower than the other region Indian Community Standards. Various methods were employed in this investigation to enhance the mechanical characteristics of CCI bricks. New mix patterns were created with the use of sand, cement, and fly ash in this research paper.

“…Prior Portland cement studies investigating cement-based composite products have indicated environmental degradation, by-product disposal, the harmful release of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and depletion of natural resources as the major concerns of cement manufacturing [ 6 ]. For instance, Peys et al [ 7 ] attributed about 3 Gt/year of CO 2 emission and approximately 8% of total anthropogenic CO 2 global emission to the cement industry.…”

In order to study the mechanical and microstructural properties of masonry mortar, combined particles of cockle and scallop seashell wastes were incorporated and analysed through destructive and non-destructive tests. River sand was replaced with the combined seashell particles (SPs) at seven mixes, viz., 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30% with a 0.5 constant water-to-cement ratio (W/C). A mortar mix design of M4-type of BS EN 1996-1-1 was adopted with a target compressive strength of 5.17 MPa at 28 days. The physical, chemical and mineralogy properties of the SPs were analysed through BS standard sieving, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The hardened SP-based mortars were subjected to direct compressive strength, rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity tests, and nonevaporable degree of hydration analysis. The XRF, SEM, and XRD analysis results of the SPs showed over 86% calcium oxide content, irregular and needle-like particles, and hydroxyapatite/calcium silicates, respectively. The direct compressive strength and the non-destructive test results revealed that up to 30% sand replacement with SP in masonry mortar, an improvement of 45% compressive strength could be attained over the control sample. The nonevaporable water method of the degree of hydration analysis showed that after 28 days, hydration increased considerably for the SP-blended mortars over the control, especially the SPM-30 with 30% sand replacement. Therefore, the study concludes that the investigated SPs in blended masonry mortar could benefit an eco-friendly environment and conservation of natural resources.
