Description
Summary:The paper presents the studies pertaining to sewage sludges and their mixtures with fly ash to be used as an additive for the manufacturing of construction materials. The studies were carried out using X-ray diffraction. The form and morphology of samples as well as the chemical composition in the micro-area were determined using a scanning electron microscope. The obtained results indicate the possibility of using sewage sludges for construction purposes. In the produced mixtures, an increase in the content of anhydrite and rock-forming calcite was noted in relation to the sludge. Production of the construction materials should be preceded with additional strength tests of the obtained product in order to determined the percentage of waste material addition.
