Abstract

Sludge from carwash wastewater treatment plants has been evaluated as substitute for lime paste, as well as its behavior in cement mortars. Dry sludge waste was used with (CSlud) and without (USlud) pretreatment and have been characterized. The pastes were prepared with weight replacement of 5, 10, 15, and 20% of sludge. The formation of calcium silicate hydrate was determined by TGA, both in lime and cement pastes. The compressive strength properties were evaluated in mortars. It was found the mixtures which present the best results were those of 5 and 10% for USlud, and 10 and 20% for CSlud.
