Abstract
The main objective of this research work is to develop an efficient way to effectively utilize the waste plastic which is a great threat for the sustainment of ecological balance and to reduce the plastic waste which is increasing day by day. Bad effects of plastic waste are felt throughout the world. At the same time, the thermal power plants in India continue to generate a huge amount of fly ash, disposal of which poses significant challenges for the power plants So, in order to solve this issue, an attempt is done to reduce the disposal problem of plastic waste and fly ash by using plastic extruder machine to melt the plastic and then mixing it with other ingredients of the fly ash brick. In this paper, efforts have been made to study the behaviour of fly ash bricks by taking different proportions of fly ash, cement, quarry dust and plastic. This study also aims at reducing the soil getting wasted during manufacturing of burnt bricks, by producing a brick which is environmentally friendly and also economical. A comparative study of conventional ash brick and plastic dust brick is done to showcase the advantage of plastic dust brick in areas of strength, economy, etc. Compression strength test was performed on the plastic dust brick and its strength was found to be higher than the conventional ash brick and red clay bricks.
Keywords- Pet, Fly Ash, Quarry Dust, Molten Plastic
