Utilization Of Waste Plastic In Manufacturing Of Plastic-Soil Bricks

There has been a considerable imbalance between the availability of conventional building materials and their demand in the recent past. On the other hand the laterite quarry waste is abundantly available and the disposal of waste plastics (PET, PP,etc.) is a biggest challenge, as repeated recycling of PET bottles pose a potential danger of being transformed to a carcinogenic material and only a small proportion of PET bottles are being recycled. In this work an attempt has been made to manufacture the bricks by using waste plastics in range of 60 to 80% by weight of laterite quarry waste and 60/70 grade bitumen was added in range of 2 to 5% by weight of soil in molten form and this bitumen-plastic resin was mixed with laterite quarry waste to manufacture the bricks. The bricks manufactured possess the properties such as neat and even finishing, with negligible water absorption and satisfactory compressive strength in comparison with laterite stone to satisfy the increasing demand of conventional building materials.

Plastic waste is a non-biodegradable waste which takes thousands years to decompose and it becomes a global concern. If we throw plastic waste on the ground it causes soil pollution when its burn it causes air pollution and when we threw in the water bodies it causes water pollution, which effects the aquatic plants and animals. The percentage of the plastic waste is increasing rapidly. And the recycle of plastic waste percentage is so less, which in return it causes a major impact to the global warming. As a Civil Engineer we have to innovate something new which will not cause much harmful to our environment. So here we try to do something innovative a plastic bricks. It is most economical solution present in the construction industry and it also environment friendly solution of plastic waste. We observe that a characteristic of plastic bricks is far much better than normal bricks.

Nowadays due to development and urbanization, plastic becomes a part of our daily life. The only flaw is it is non-biodegradable and it takes thousands of years to breakdown or to decompose. This study elaborates the work done by the writer to use plastic as a construction material to replace the clay brick as well as to find a way to effectively utilize the waste plastic. Plastic waste has recyclable characteristics that may be used to recycle it and create a new product that has lesser environmental effect. One way to recycle plastic trash is to make plastic bricks by combining plastic with sand at a particular temperature and using them to replace regular clay bricks. Various authors conducted a comparison study with masonry bricks made of other materials using various testing methods such as scratch testing, water absorption test, porosity testing, soundness testing, scratch testing, efflorescence testing, and concluded that more research in this field could improve the durabili...

USE OF WASTE PLASTIC IN MANUFACTURING OF BRICKS

use of waste plastic in manufacturing of bricks, 2020

Plastic pollution can affect unfavorably water ways and oceans and lands. The composition of plastic is of major harmful and toxic pollutants. Potentially it may be very harmful to environment like air, water and land pollutions. It has been reported that each year 20 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean and other water bodies. 2-2.5 trillion plastic particles which is weighing about 270,000 tons are currently floating in the world water bodies. Moisture which penetrates to the building by its wall, roofs and floors from ground water table or by other sources like rain, sanitary leakages etc is called dampness. Only the building its self is not get effected by the dampness but it is also harmful for its inhabitants. It is therefore necessary to make the building damp proof and it can be made by using proper damp proof materials. Dampness can cause corrosion of metals, dry root to the wooden portion, paints to get blistered, peeling off or removal of plaster, floor up the buildings too remains ugly. To overcome the pollution, the waste plastic bottles should be utilized and to reduce dampness. Plastic clay brick should be manufactured. For this purpose, we manufactured plastic clay brick which fulfils the requirements we used melted plastic bottles with clay. The percentage of plastic was changed in different trials. We achieved the desired strength on 30% plastic and 70% clay. All tests were performed according to IS standard. The results obtained show high strength and less absorption.

An experimental study on the utilization of plastic waste for the manufacturing of bricks

IRJET, 2022

Plastic is very hazardous in today's world. This is the most dangerous problem that humanity faces nowadays. When it burned it releases toxic gases like furans, dioxins, and mercury. The plastic, which is lower than 75 m, causes serious issues for human beings as well as the ecosystem. This experiment was performed on the manufacturing of bricks using plastic waste. The brick is manufactured by the process of melting it with river sand at 110°-130°C. In this experiment, we have used different types of sand to plastic ratios. The different types of plastic percentages we used in this experiment were 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, and 50%, respectively, with the river sand. The tests that were performed on these bricks were compression tests, absorption tests, and other tests that were performed on normal bricks. These bricks are light in weight and economical in budget as we are using plastic waste.

Utilization of Waste Plastic in Manufacturing of Bricks

International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2022

Plastic waste which is increasing day by day becomes eyesore and in turn pollutes the environment, especially in high mountain villages where no garbage collection system exists. A large amount of plastic is being brought into the tourist trekking regions are discarded or burned which leads to the contamination of environment and air. Hence, these waste plastics are to be effectively utilized. Low-density polyethylene bags are cleaned and added with sand at particular percentages to obtain high strength bricks that possess thermal and sound insulation properties to control pollution and to reduce the overall cost of construction; this is one of the best ways to avoid the accumulation of plastic waste which is an on-degradable pollutant. This alternatively saves the quantity of sand/clay that has to be taken away from the precious river beds/mines. The plastic waste is naturally available in surplus quantity and hence the cost factor comes down. Also coloring agents can be added to the mixture to attain desired shades. Hence in this thesis, an attempt is made to study regard the properties of the brick which is manufactured using plastic wastes. The present work deals with the manufacturing and analysis of bricks made with waste plastic (LDPE) and fine aggregates. The bricks produced are light weight, have smooth surface and fine edges, do not have cracks and have high crushing strength and very low water absorption. The bricks are manufactured by heating waste plastic to temperature range of 120 to 150 degree centigrade and mixing sand to the molten plastic. I.

IRJET- The Use of Waste Plastic in the Manufacture of Bricks

IRJET, 2020

Current world is facing grave circumstances of waste management, particularly plastic throw away. Daily thousands of tonnes of artificial are vacant to the nonsense but there is no sufficient process to satisfaction and reuse the plastic world. A great quantity of plastic is been remaining or burned daily which leads to the spot of surroundings and air. Build up of plastic desecrate in the surroundings is harmful to both plant and animal life. The plastic waste in the form of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) has an important environmental challenge and its recycling faces a big problem due to its non-degradable nature. In this work an attempt has been made to manufacture the bricks by using waste plastics in range of 60 to 80% by weight of laterite quarry waste and 60/70 grade bitumen was added in range of 2 to 5% by weight of soil in molten form and this bitumen-plastic resin was mixed with laterite quarry waste to manufacture the bricks. The bricks manufactured possess the properties such as neat and even finishing, with negligible water absorption and satisfactory compressive strength in comparison with laterite stone to satisfy the increasing demand of conventional building materials.
