Description
Summary:This study describes the experimental work on utilization of digested and dewatered sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant, together with limestone and clay as raw materials for making cementitious building material. An optimum condition on mixture composition of the raw materials, incineration temperature and duration, as well as curing condition upon the highest possible strength development of the cement was determined based on the results obtained.
