lightweight ash-based concrete production as a promising way of technogenic product utilization (on the example of sewage treatment waste)

The study is devoted to the development of a method for the technogenic raw materials utilization. special attention is paid to the prospect of involving products based on them in the production of new building materials. the results of russian and foreign studies on the reuse of wastes, such as phosphogypsum, metallurgical slag, waste from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, etc., in the building materials industry are considered. it has been established that the use of incinerated sewage sludge ash in construction is a promising direction in terms of environmental and economic efficiency. the research confirmed the compliance of the lightweight ash-based concrete components to the regulatory documentation requirements for a number of indicators. as a result of the research, the composition of the raw mixture for the lightweight concrete production with incinerated sewage sludge ash as a replacement for a part of the cement has been developed. in terms of parameters, the developed concrete corresponds to standard lightweight concrete, marked in accordance with the regulatory documents of the russian federation as d1300 (density not less than 1.3 g/cm3), btb2 (flexural strength not less than 2 mpa), m200/b15 (compressive strength not less than 15 mpa). lightweight ash-based concrete is suitable for use in construction, repair of roads and improvement of urban areas.
