- Abstract
The amount of sludge wastes produced from mining, domestic agriculture and industrial activities are about 60200 tons per year. The waste increase will have a significant impact on the energy conservation and also on the environment. Many attempts have been made to use sludge waste as construction materials such as brick; for example sewage sludge, water sludge, ceramic sludge and fly ash sludge and also advantages on the properties have been found but heavy metals leachibility will be the main concerned. Geopolymer has an ability to encapsulate heavy metals. Therefore, sludge waste is a potential alternative to convert into useful products as building materials that can alleviate the disposal problems. Therefore, in this study the potential of sludge waste to be utilize as construction materials has been studied.
