A huge quantity of textile effluent sludge is generated from 21 076 textile units of India and dumped in large areas, leading to contamination of soil, surface water and groundwater. Hence, effective management of this sludge is important for its reuse and safe disposal. Considering the utilization of this waste in construction activities, the current paper explores the potential of textile sludge produced from textile industry effluent treatment plants. Many researchers have attempted to reuse this sludge for the development of sustainable construction materials and suggested its optimum usage as a partial substitution for fine aggregate, cement and clay with or without additives for the manufacturing of non-structural building components. This paper provides a critical review of the production of non-structural elements – namely, sustainable building blocks, clay bricks, mortar and paver blocks – using textile effluent treatment plant sludge and recommends optimum ranges of 5–30, 5–40, 5–50 and 20–40%, respectively. The prominent gaps are suggested as the outcome of studies such as techno-economic feasibility of the product, thermal and energy building simulation along with the life-cycle assessment and fatigue life assessment of the developed paver blocks.

使用纺织废水处理厂污泥的可持续建筑材料：综述

印度21076家纺织企业产生大量纺织废水污泥，大面积倾倒，污染土壤、地表水和地下水。因此，对这种污泥进行有效管理对于其再利用和安全处置非常重要。考虑到在建筑活动中利用这种废物，本文探讨了纺织工业废水处理厂产生的纺织污泥的潜力。许多研究人员已尝试重新利用这种污泥来开发可持续建筑材料，并建议将其最佳用途作为部分替代细骨料、水泥和粘土的添加剂，用于制造非结构性建筑部件。本文对非结构元素的生产进行了批判性回顾——即，可持续建筑砌块、粘土砖、砂浆和铺路砖——使用纺织废水处理厂污泥，并建议最佳范围分别为 5–30、5–40、5–50 和 20–40%。突出的差距被认为是产品的技术经济可行性、热能和能源建筑模拟以及开发的摊铺机块的生命周期评估和疲劳寿命评估等研究的结果。
