Abstract EN

This study investigated the use of water treatment sludge to replace cement in the production of paving tiles for external use.

The study utilized sludge-cement replacement percentages of 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 50 %.

Produced tiles were tested for water absorption and breaking (bending) strength.

Leaching of sludge metals from tiles was assessed using TCLP.

The study showed that all produced tiles exhibited a water absorption ratio of around 10 %.

The study concluded that produced tiles, except for 50% sludge-cement replacement, comply with the breaking strength requirements of 2.8 M Pa for tiles for external use.

The TCLPN results indicated that metal leaching from tiles is negligible.
