Performance of Cement Mortars under Tannery Wastewater
Abstract This research studied the performance of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Portland Composite Cement (PCC) composites when exposed to tannery wastewater (TWW), which is generated in large quantities in different tannery industries in Bangladesh. With increasing prospects for tanning industries in the country, selection of suitable construction material will enable sustainable development in this sector. TWW consists of several chemicals that have detrimental effects on concrete. Performances of OPC and PCC were measured in terms of strength, expansion, and weight loss. Microstructures of the test specimens were also studied through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), and Energy-dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. Results revealed that PCC test specimens performed better compared to those of OPC in terms of strength and degradation when exposed to TWW. The inferences made from this study will be helpful for selection of suitable cement type in future structures exposed to similar severe conditions.
