Effect on Concrete by Using Partial Pharmaceutical Industrial Waste Water

Abstract

Water is a precious resource essential for human life and valuable for development. The total
demand for water increases as the region's population grows. This could lead to a strain on water
supplies, particularly in areas with a shortage of freshwater resources. Water is also required for
the construction industry. With slightly under eight billion people on the planet today, there is an
increasing need for water due to water stress brought on by climate change. Water shortage is
mainly caused by urbanization. The deficiency of water is rapidly becoming a problem all over the
world. This project studies the use of wastewater effluent in place of potable water in plane
concrete production. The wastewater sample obtained from the MIDC Kurukumb, Daund, was
tested for pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Chloride, Hardness, Alkalinity and Sulphate. To
achieve M40 grade concrete mix, wastewater is replaced by 0% to 100% with an interval of 25%.
