Abstract: Cement production is one of the sources that emit carbon dioxide, in addition to deforestation and combustion of fossil fuels also leads to ill effects on environment. The global cement industry accounts for 7% of earth’s greenhouse gas emission. To enhance the environmental effects associated with cement manufacturing and to constantly deplore natural resources, we need to develop other binders to make the concrete industry sustainable. This work offers the option to use waste paper sludge ash as a partial replacement of cement for new concrete. In this study cement in partially replaced as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by waste paper sludge ash in concrete for M25 mix and tested for compressive strength, tensile strength, water absorption and dry density up to the age of 28days and compared it with conventional concrete, based on the results obtained, it is found that waste paper ash may be used as a cement replacement up to 5% by weight and the particle size is less the 90µm to prevent reduction in workability. Keywords: slump test, Compressive strength, split tensile strength, water absorption test, Waste Paper Sludge Ash Concrete, Workability.

Waste paper sludge ash (WPSA) is a byproduct that has potential to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) as a building material. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of NaOH concentration on the strength of Waste Paper Sludge Ash (WPSA)-based geopolymer mortar. Initially, the WPSA samples were been analyzed using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) to determine the chemical composition. From the XRF analysis, the by-product WPSA containing higher amount of calcium, silica and alumina. Alkaline solution are from soluble sodium-based used in geopolymerization are combination of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3). The mortars samples were cast with various concentration of NaOH and ratio of Na2SiO3 /NaOH which is 2.5. The specimens were carried out on size 50x50x50 mm cube and fresh mortar were been cured at 70 ̊c oven temperature and ambient temperature. The compressive strength tests were conducted after aging the specimen at 3, 7, 14, and 28 days. The results revealed that as the concentration of NaOH increased, the compressive strength of geopolymer mortar increases. However, the optimum NaOH concentration of geopolymer mortar is at 12M. More than 12M concentrations of NaOH were produced high porosity and decreasing the strength. Moreover, curing of fresh geopolymer mortar is performed mostly at an oven temperature compared to ambient temperature due to heat being a reaction accelerator. This paper also present on the morphology, and Energy dispersive x-Ray (EDX) composition analysis of WPSA based geopolymer mortar.

Concrete is widely used as a material construction. Globally, the consumption of concrete was estimated to be more than 8 billion tons per year. Nowadays, many problems arise related to concrete manufacturing occur especially on environmental issues. A key concern for environmentalists has always been climate change. One of the ways to mitigate the impact activities on the climate is to reduce carbon footprint. Portland cement are commonly been used in concrete is responsible for about 5% of all CO2emission. It is reported by Davidovit that the production of one ton of Portland cement emits approximately one ton of CO2into the atmosphere. There are several ways to reduce environmental pollution that cause by production and utilization of Portland cement, one of it is Geopolymer concrete. Subsequently Geopolymer concrete incorporating with recycle concrete aggregate (RCA) is one of the alternative to further reduce carbon footprint and as well as can reduce waste. Geopolymer concrete is a concrete that use no cement and produced by the combination of alkaline activator and supplementary cementitious material (SCM) such as fly ash, boiler ash, waste paper sludge ash (WPSA), ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), and so on in order to reduce carbon emission. In this study the Waste Paper Sludge Ash (WPSA) were used as a SCM and the combination of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) as a binder. Two (2) series of geopolymer concrete specimens comprising two (2) different molar of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which are 8M and 14M were adopted. The effect variable alkaline molarity on the compressive strength and shrinkage of the geopolymer concrete specimens is tested at the age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. The mixture of geopolymer concete with 8M of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration then was categorized into three (3) groups. Each group were been cured at different curing condition which are in ambient condition, oven, and external condition. The size of specimens prepared were 100mm x 100mm x100mm. The result shows that the molarities of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) influenced the strength of Waste Paper Sludge Ash (WPSA) based geopolymer concrete produced incorporating with increasing of recycle concrete aggregate (RCA). The result also show that the geopolymer concrete undergoes very low shrinkage. Curing condition will also effect the strength of geopolymer concrete produced.

High strength concrete (HSC) is an amazing breakthrough in the history of construction material. Due to its high strength, durability, and economic value, it has been used in large-scale construction with a unique structure design not achievable by conventional concrete. However, HSC uses a high amount of cement powder which contributes to its overall strength. However, it will require high cement consumption and increases carbon dioxide emission. Waste paper sludge ash (WPSA) is utilised in cement and has improved concrete properties. Nano engineered WPSA might further enhance HSC capabilities. This research focused on the physical and fresh properties of HSC with partial replacement of nano-engineered WPSA to cement through experimental investigation. The HSC produced in this research has a targeted strength of more than 40MPa with a fixed water-cement ratio of 0.2. The WPSA was oven-dried and was sieved to a particle size of 212 micrometers. Then, it was milled until a nano-size particle is obtained. The nano WPSA is used to replace cement in the HSC mix with a replacement percentage of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10%. The new properties of the concrete were measured by conducting the flow table test, and the physical property was determined by conducting the compressive test. Compressive tests were conducted for 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days with a cube sample size of 50mm x 50mm x 50mm. This research shows that 1% of nano WPSA replacement tends to improve the compressive strength of the HSC concrete by 10.7% compared to the control sample. On the other hand, the 1% replacement of nano WPSA in HSC did not affect the concrete's workability compared to the control sample. The conventional HSC properties were improved with less usage of cement with the use of WPSA.

ncreasing environmental concerns of the cement industry brings about the requirement to the development of new binders. Polymeric concrete containing no cement provides great potential in reducing the global warming problems caused by CO2emissions in Portland cement production. On the other hand, large amount of waste paper sludge ash produced annually in Malaysia has caused a disposal problem as they require a proper dumping process whereby it is very costly. The study focuses on the utilization of this high calcium Waste paper sludge ash (WPSA) in polymeric concrete containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). WPSA is chemically activated by a high-alkaline solution to form paste that binds aggregate in the mixture. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution are used as alkali activators of silica (Si) and aluminium (Al) in main binders. The polymeric concrete samples were exposed to external ambient condition and tested for compressive strength and shrinkage at 3, 7, 28, 56, and 90 days to identify the strength and deformation of the polymeric concrete. X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis performed to ascertain the chemical properties of the produced WPSA. The result of polymeric concrete yielded very minimum shrinkage. The measurement compressive strength is up to 7MPa at 90 days. Hence, this new green material will bring benefits to the environment and is of economical value.
