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.

Fired clay bricks manufactured by adding wastes as sustainable construction material – A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of research concerning the recycling of different types of wastes into eco-friendly fired clay bricks (FCB's). Materials and methods of researches are discussed, and several properties of bricks, made by incorporating additives are reviewed as well as procedures in accordance with international standards are highlighted.

Manufacturing of sustainable clay bricks: Utilization of waste sugarcane bagasse and rice husk ashes

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the waste addition produced from two major crops: sugarcane and rice in clay bricks manufacturing was evaluated and it was concluded that the brick specimens incorporating lower dosage of SBA and RHA (i.e. 5% by clay weight) will not only relieve the environmental burden but also result into a more sustainable and economical construction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards sustainable bricks production: An overview

TL;DR: In this paper, a thorough review of the composition and properties of bricks and the various factors related to its manufacturing process is highly required for better standardization of bricks, which will help in achieving the goal of sustainable development.

An overview on olive mill wastes and their valorisation methods.

TL;DR: In this article, recent research studies for the valorisation of olive mill wastes performed by several authors were reviewed: second oil extraction, combustion, gasification, anaerobic digestion, composting and solid fermentation are some of the methods proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utilization of sludge as brick materials

TL;DR: In this article, the results of tests indicated that the sludge proportion and the firing temperature were the two key factors determining the brick quality, increasing sludge content results in a decrease of brick shrinkage, water absorption, and compressive strength.

The use of recycled paper processing residues in making porous brick with reduced thermal conductivity

TL;DR: In this paper, paper processing residues were used as an additive to an earthenware brick to produce the pores, and the results showed that the use of paper processing residue decreased the fired density of the bricks down to 1.28 g/cm 3.

Reduction of the phenolic components in olive-mill wastewater by an enzymatic treatment and its impact on durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) germinability

TL;DR: Results show that germinability inhibition due to OMW can be reduced effectively using fungal laccase, suggesting that phenols are the main determinants of its phytotoxicity.
