The Indian automotive industry has emerged as a 'sunrise sector' in the Indian economy with an annual production of 23.37 million vehicles in 2014-15. Even it is a value adding industry, it has several environmental impacts causing land and water pollution with toxicity. Effluent sludge waste management becomes a big problem nowadays .Except engineered landfills, rest of the methods for dumping, leads ground water contamination and thereby other socio-economic impacts. Many studies have been conducted in this area and reported that the pollution level is high in ground water and nuisance due to dumping in the treatment plant area premises. There is a growing need to find alternative solutions for the sludge management. In the present study, an attempt has been made to utilize the automotive ETP sludge (dry) in making of construction materials, which is produced from TATA MOTARS, PUNE. Even to analyses the sludge, have been studied. For inducing strength materials like fly ash, lime, sand, cement, CaCl2, have been used. Sludge bricks show better compressive strength when compared with normal fly bricks or building bricks. Brine sludge is an industrial waste generated in chloral alkali industry. The generated brine sludge waste is dumped into landfills and contains barium Sulphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, Sodium chloride, clay, and toxic elements like chromium, zinc, copper, and Vanadium, therefore posing an environmental threat. Consequently, there is an urgent need to convert toxic brine sludge waste into its non-toxic form. The present invention thus aims to achieve total utilization of this brine sludge for making functionalized brine sludge material useful for a broad application spectrum.
