The objective of this paper is to investigate the potentials of agrowaste materials and aluminium dross industrial waste in building construction applications. The sieve sizes, specific heat capacity and microstructure were analyzed. Aluminium dross along with bentonite, carbon graphite and silicate surface characteristics were examined by scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The examined materials find application as ceiling and wall tiles. The study confirmed the feasibility of using agricultural wastes and industrial aluminium dross waste as a building materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
