The possible use of sewage sludge ash (SSA) in the construction industry as a way towards a circular economy

TL;DR: A detailed description of each application as a way towards a circular economy is presented in this paper, where the use of sewage sludge ash for the building materials manufacturing, such as produce bricks and tiles, as raw materials for cement production, as aggregates for concrete and mortar, as a component of the synthesis of lightweight materials and as substitute for sand and/or cement in cement stabilized bases, subbases and embankments in road constuctions.
