Utilization of Solid Wastes (CCR, Slags, Slimes, Tailings, Red mud, Mining waste, etc.)
• Building Materials
• Fertilizers
• PVC Products
• Brick Making
• Coatings
• Fly ash, BF slag, red mud, etc., are successfully being used
as alternate construction materials.
• Recycling of non-hazardous components from hazardous
wastes is a challenge that is being tackled.
• Their utilization potential as an alternate construction material
is being explored.
• Clinker mixed with gypsum (2% – 5%) and finely grinded to form cement.
• Gypsum acts as a retarding agent and prevents early settling and hardening
• Cement composition: 50% C3S, 25% C2S, 10% CxA, 10% C4AF, 2 – 5% Gypsum
