Experimental Study of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Quarry Dust in Partial Replacement of Brick Material

Issue Abstract

Abstract
For Economic, Environmental, and technical reasons, the use of industrial and agricultural waste products in industry has been the subject of research. Sugarcane Bagasse, like Ethanol vapor, is a fibrous waste product of the sugar refining industry. This waste product is already polluting the environment, necessitating immediate waste management solutions. During the sawing and polishing operations, the quarry industry creates a considerable quantity of waste, mostly in the form of powder, which pollutes and harms the environment. As a result, the goal of this article is to describe and assess the potential for utilising Bagasse Ash and Quarry Dust created by brick-making enterprises. Bagasse Ash and Quarry Dust were used as partial replacements for brick material in the ratios of 0 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent, and 20 percent for bricks of size 22cm 10.5 cm7.5 cm. The bricks were fired at 900°C for 24 hours before being evaluated for water absorption and compressive strength.
Keywords- Bricks, Quarry Dust, Bagasse Ash, Waste Management.
