“…de Andrde et al (2019) has suggested economically and eco-friendly utilization of industrial landfill sludge by its amendment in soil instead of dumping in landfill due to high cost of landfills and loss of valuable plant nutrients essential for improved growth of sunflower and sorghum. Efforts were made earlier by different researchers for utilizing solid wastes of different paper mills either for producing porous bricks (Rajput et al 2012) or using as cheap adsorbent materials for removing oil (Kok 1983), grease (Lowe et al 1988), cellulose (Eifling and Ebbers 2006), etc. or to cover landfill as impermeable material (Zule et al 2007), which would automatically avoid its detrimental effect on surrounding environment.…”

Purpose Huge quantity of paper mill wastes are dumped at the outskirt of factory as unwanted materials. Vermicomposting is an eco-friendly technique for beneficial conversion of different biodegradable/organic wastes into useful organic manure utilizing earthworms. Solid wastes generated in paper mills contain appreciable quantity of organic matter. Attempt was made for bio-conversion of Emami paper mill wastes with different numbers of Eisenia fetida (5-30 earthworms/2 kg substrate) for studying its influence on vermi-conversing time and quality of prepared vermicompost. Method Vermicomposting was carried out in trays following heap method and quality of final product was determined following both chemical analysis and bioassay on wheat seedlings. Results Application of more earthworms up to 20 numbers per 2 kg substrate made bio-conversion quicker but further addition of earthworm, however, delayed the process as some earthworms came out of beds and died probably due to competition for food among earthworms inside beds. Ten earthworms per kg paper mill wastes-saw dust-cow dung mixture (1:0.5:0.5 weight wise) was found as optimum earthworm population for preparing quality vermicompost having more major and secondary plant nutrients. Bioassay of this manure on wheat seedlings also confirmed the analytical findings. Conclusion It is confirmed that earthworm population in vermibed played vital role in faster decomposition of paper mill wastes and releasing of more nutrients, which ultimately helped in better growth of wheat seedlings. Successful demonstration of vermicomposting technique will encourage local farmers for beneficial utilization of paper mill wastes in their agriculture.

“…The optimum replacement level of WFW, LPW, and RHA was 25 wt%, which resulted in good mechanical properties. Rajput et al (2012) utilized recycled paper mill waste and cotton waste to manufacture wastecreate bricks (WCB). WCBs with a varying content of cotton waste from 1 to 5 wt%, recycled paper mill waste from 89 to 85 wt% and a fixed content of Portland cement (10 wt%) were prepared and tested as per the IS 3495 (Part 1e3): 1992 standards.…”

“…Other scientists [24] proposed to use up to 10 % of the paper production waste in low density cement mixes; however, it was established that the said waste reduced the strength of the samples. The impact of paper production waste on the properties of very light cement bricks was investigated in the work [25][26], it was proposed to use the obtained products for internal walls.…”

The possibilities of primary paper sludge (PS) only dried at 75 °C from the paper production industry used in concrete composition are discussed. For pursuing the set object, the concrete mixes were chosen where part of the cement content was, in one case, replaced by the PS waste and, in the other case, part of the sand content was replaced by the PS waste. It was found that if 2.5 % of the sand is replaced by the PS waste, the compressive strength of the concrete increases by about 15 %, its density decreases by 4 % and the water absorption remains analogous to the reference samples. SEM analysis showed that when the content of the PS waste in the mix does not exceed 7.5 %, it adhered well to the cement stone and crystals grew on it. The X-ray images showed that analogous minerals were formed in the tested concrete samples and only their contents were different.
