Abstract

The immobilization of toxic metals present in the pharmaceutical effluent treatment plant (ETP) sludge is studied using the solidification/stabilization (S/S) technique. Different mixtures of cement, lime and bentonite as binders and additives (Pulverized fuel ash (PFA), silica fume and quarry dust) are used in order to reduce the mobility of the metal constituent of the pharma sludge as well as to strengthen brick. The interaction between the S/S matrix were studied using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermo gravimetric-Differential Thermal Analysis (TG- DTA), Unconfined Compression Strength, Toxicity characteristics leaching procedure (TCLP) tests. The results showed that the optimized composition matrix have a strong fixing capacity for heavy metal includes Cu, Zn, Fe, Co, Pb, Ni and Cd. All the specimens have been observed to be sufficient in achieving the target compressive strength of 0.3 N/mm2 required for landfill disposal and mixed binders (Cement, Lime, and Bentonite) brick can be recommended for external use in construction i.e. for pave of pedestrian roads.
