Experimental Effect of Addition of waste Plastic in the Fly-Ash Bricks (original) (raw)

Manufacturing Fly Ash Brick By Using Plastic Waste And Bitumen

India is suffering from huge problem of solid waste management in this age of rapid development and the major portion of this solid waste comprise of polyethylene, especially LDPE. Plastic waste has become one of the major environmental problems, so by utilizing plastic in a useful way we can reduce the burden on environment by a huge margin. In this study, an attempt has been made by replacing the cement used in the fly ash bricks by low density plastic as the binding material. By using plastic as a binding material rather than cement, it can be proved beneficial to the environment in multiple ways. Hence, in this study LDPE waste is used for making fly ash brick using molten plastic (instead of cement) and bitumen. Different mixes of Fly ash: Plastic: Bitumen (F: P: B) ratio are prepared and then tested. The composition of different materials being tested are:-i). 60% fly ash, 35% molten plastic and 5% bitumen by volume and ii). 60% fly ash, 38% molten plastic and 2% bitumen by volume. The results will then be compared with that of conventional bricks (i.e. clay bricks and fly ash bricks) on grounds of compressive strength, water absorption as well as on the basis of economy (approximate cost per brick). The results found were compatible and hence it could be suggested that plastic waste could be used for the making of fly ash bricks

An Investigational Study on Use of Waste Materials in Eco-Friendly Fly Ash Bricks

Journal of emerging technologies and innovative research, 2019

Conventional bricks are produced from clay whereas fly ash bricks make use of fly ash, sand and cement.Due to rising demand the quarrying operation for sand and clay has increased. Also the need for cement has increased which has led to high emission of CO2 gas and its high prices. In this study saw dust, sugar bagasse ash, saw dust ash and rice husk ash has been used as a partial replacement for cement whereas rubber tyre, thermocol, cocopeat, plastic powder and coconut shell ash has been used as a replacement for sand. Engineering property such as compressive strength has been studied at 14 days. From the study, it has been observed that sugar bagasse ash and saw dust ash can be used for partial replacement of cement and rubber tyre, plastic powder and coconut shell ash can be used as a replacement for sand. In the entire study there has been no use of clay as well as sand whereas an optimum quantity of cement has been used.

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.

Investigation on properties of fly ash bricks

In modern era, geo-polymer fly ash based bricks are abundantly utilized in numerous constructional projects instead of normal clay bricks from last few years. The main objective is to illustrate the silent feature regarding fly ash chemical property and use of this in construction similar to burnt clay bricks. Numerous laboratory tests along with field experiments are toted out on such waste material bricks like compressive strength testing, water absorption by bricks, hardness test, efflorescence test, soundness test, physical structure test, crushing strength test to compare properties with common clay burnt bricks. Bricks are always counted in the basic requirement before any construction starts. By the idea of future estimation with the help of previous data, Soil for manufacturing of these bricks would not be so sufficient in quantity because, need for land is shot up nowadays. In this particular condition, geo-polymer fly ash bricks will contribute to tackle this major issue because such bricks are prepared using raw material from industrial waste such as paper mills. Furthermore, nowadays the constructional structures are counted heavier, the utilization of fly ash and other waste material from industries in production of bricks are considered in a more productive way as they found light in weight and high strength if compared with clay bricks.

Development of construction material from waste plastics and fly ash

With advancement of civilization, use of plastic is increasing. Consequently a huge amount of plastic waste is generated. In India 26000 tonnes per day of plastic waste was generated in 2017-18. Polyethylene and expanded polystyrene foam are extensively used for packaging which create environmental pollution when discarded. Fly-ash is another solid waste generated from thermal power plants. This particulate solid waste contaminates air water and soil. Aim of the present research was to prepare a value-added product from all these waste materials to establish a waste-to-wealth process. A tile-like structure has been prepared my melt-mixing and subsequent compression-moulding using plastic carry-bags, thermocol (expanded polystyrene foam) and fly-ash. Tensile and flexural strengths along with the solvent absorption capacity were determined and compared with ceramic wall tiles.

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.
