Stabilization of Waste Sand Obtained from Stone Industries and Marble Slurry Waste With White Cement as Foregoing Alternatives for Bricks Industries

Abstract

—The wastage of marble industry are responsible for many environmental problems because 70% wastes and
only 30% recovery of main product contribute to the maximum wastes which are indestructible. Dumping sites give dirty
look. Contaminate top fertile soil cover, along with rivers/water bodies affecting irrigation and drinking water resources
and air as well as loss to flora and fauna. The most efficient Solution of marble slurry and stone slurry pollution is
utilization in Bulk. The only industry which can consume marble slurry and stone slurry at so large level is only the
construction industry. This paper analysis discusses the potential of stone waste and marble slurry sand stabilization
with white cement as admixture. Present work has been taken up by addition of white cement as admixture. The varying
percentage 5%, 7%, 9%, 11%, 13% and 15% of white cement were mixed with stone waste and marble waste sand of
different densities and moisture content. All the Compressive Strength Tests were conducted at different mix
compositions of normal cement and waste sand of different dry densities as arrived from Standard Proctor Test. On the
basis of the experiments performed, it is determined that the stabilization of stone waste and marble waste sand with
white cement as admixture improves the strength characteristics of the waste sand so that it becomes usable as
construction of embankment and manufacturing of bricks. And also we manufacture a brick that is of mixture of stone
sand waste and marble sand waste and white cement and the strength of this brick is as similar as II class brick.
