SEM and EDX Analysis of Waste Paper Sludge Ash and Cement
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
In Sivakasi, India, large volume of paper sludge is discharging from paper mill daily. These discarded paper sludge is clogging the pores of the land, when it is disposed over the land and thus creating the environmental pollution and illness to the peoples. Therefore, it is planned to examine the possibilities to utilize the waste paper sludge ash for the manufacturing of concrete in the construction industries for the replacement of cement. In this works, it is planned to perform the SEM and EDX analysis for the paper sludge ash obtained from paper mill. It contains. On the basis of the results obtained by performing the SEM and EDX analysis, it was observed that the size of the waste paper sludge ash is less than 50µ and the waste paper sludge ash contains large amount of oxides of calcium, silica and aluminium. The components and their proportions of the minerals of the waste paper sludge ash is very resembles with the cement. Hence, it is suggested that the waste paper sludge ash could be replaced for the partial replacement of cement for making concrete. Also, the size of the waste paper sludge ash is less than size of the cement particles and therefore it helps to improve the durability performance of concrete. R.
