Abstract |
|
Red mud materialize as the major waste material during fabrication of alumina from bauxite by the Bayer’s process. It consist of oxides of iron aluminium, silica and titanium, along with some other minor constituents. In the present analysis experimental study was conduct for progress of brick using red mud. Red mud brick of different trial mix were produced at the kiln and test were conducted to find the properties of red mud brick properties found from tests were compare with the properties of ordinary bricks. It is found from the study that a red mud brick shows better performance than ordinary brick. As red mud bricks are eco-friendly & economical they defend the environment also. Compressive strength of red mud bricks are more as compound to ordinary bricks. Clay was Replaced with red mud at 70%, 60% and 50% for obtaining an optimum percentage. |
