“…In good agreement with contaminated water streams, the prepared polluted waters had acidic pH values of 5.23, 4.33, 4.82, respectively. This amount of metal turned out to be much larger than reported values found in industrially polluted wastewaters (Shaheen et al, 2013;Noruzman et al, 2012) and exceeded the tolerable limits for industrial effluent discharge. Polluted aqueous solutions were added as mixing water in order to reach a ratio of 1 w/w %, toxic metal/binder.…”

Polyphosphate-modified calcium aluminate cement matrices were prepared by using aqueous solutions polluted with toxic metals as mixing water to obtain wastecontaining solid blocks with improved management and disposal. Synthetically contaminated waters containing either Pb or Cu or Zn were incorporated into phosphoaluminate cement mortars and the effects of the metal's presence on setting time and mechanical performance were assessed. Sorption and leaching tests were also executed and both retention and release patterns were investigated. For all three metals, high uptake capacities as well as percentages of retention larger than 99.9% were measured. Both Pb and Cu were seen to be largely compatible with this cementitious matrix, rendering the obtained blocks suitable for landfilling or for building purposes. However, Zn spoilt the compressive strength values because of its reaction with hydrogen phosphate anions, hindering the development of the binding matrix.

“…This concentration may lead to corrosion on the steel reinforcement which could damage the bonding between rebars and concrete [40][41][42][43][44][45]. Table 8 and Figure 1 demonstrated the comparison of tensile strength between car wash wastewater mix and control mix.…”

“…These findings may correlate to the existence of fine solid particles in wastewater which could fill the pores and voids in between the fine and coarse aggregates in concrete structures. According to previous researchers, the factors affecting the MOE were concrete strength and concrete density [42][43][44][45]. The concrete strength effect was related to the concrete compressive strength while the concrete density was related to the porosity of concrete.…”

Abstract. The rapid growth of the car wash industry today results in the need for wastewater reclamation. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the effect of using car wash wastewater on concrete properties in terms of mechanical properties. The basic characteristics of wastewater were investigated according to USEPA (Method 150.1 & 3 00.0) while the mechanical properties of concrete with car wash wastewater were compared according to ASTM C1602 and BS EN 1008 standards. In this research, the compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength were studied. The percentages of wastewater replaced in the concrete mix ranged from 0% up to 40%. In addition, the results also suggest that the concrete with 20% car wash wastewater achieved the highest compressive strength and modulus of elasticity compared to other compositions of wastewater. Moreover, the results also recommended that concrete mixed with car wash wastewater has better compressive strength compared to conventional concrete.

“…In addition to the use of wastewater effluent for plain concrete, several researchers have conducted experiments to investigate the effects of wastewater effluent use in various high strength concrete applications. Some of these studies are as follows: Noruzman et al (2012) conducted a research study to determine the feasibility of using treated effluents as alternatives to freshwater in mixing concrete. They collected samples from three effluent sources: Heavy industry, palm-oil mill and domestic sewage.…”

“…Furthermore, they found that the strength of the concrete made using heavy industry effluents was better than that of the control concrete. The high compressive strength associated with the heavy industry effluent samples could be the result of the chemical and physical composition of the effluent as the presence of fine solids in mixing water could fill voids in the concrete matrix which have significant impact on concrete strength (Noruzman et al, 2012). Another research was conducted by Al-Ghusain and Terro (2003) to determine the suitability of using wastewater for mixing concrete.…”

Wastewater reuse presents a promising solution to the growing pressure on the world's water resources. The use of municipal wastewater effluents for concrete production in the construction industry would result in energy and water savings leading to conservation and sustainability of our water resources. In this research, to promote and increase the reuse of wastewater in construction industry, both chemical and bacteria analyses were performed to ensure the recommended quality for concrete mixing water and the compressive strength of concrete specimens made with wastewater effluents was investigated and compared to specimens made with fresh water. Statistical analysis of the strength results showed that at 95% confidence interval, the compressive strengths of the control specimens and those of test specimens are not statistically different.
