Utilization of High Volume Fly Ash in Manufacturing of Building Bricks

Abstract

Utilization Of High Volume Fly Ash In Manufacturing Of Building Bricks is the action of human beings that determines the worth of any material. Materials having potential for gainful utilization remain in the category of waste till its potential is understood and is put to right use.

Fly ash is one of such examples, which has been treated as a waste material, in India, till a decade back, and has now emerged not only as a resource material, but also as an environment savior. At present, disposal of such large quantity of fly ash involves man, material and money resources which incur an additional financial burden to the power station.

Conclusion

The results are indicative of the satisfactory performance fly ash bricks this type of brick uses 50% of fly ash but without using of clay. The mechanical properties of the fly ash bricks have exceeds that those of conventional brick. The study suggests that the fly ash from chemical industry ash/ Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) can be effectively used for manufacturing of bricks. Using of fly ash in to manufacturing of brick, helps in minimization of the waste also this method will help to conserve natural resource like air, water, soil.
