    Utilization of Treated Textile Dyeing Wastewater and GGBFS–Perlite Blends for Sustainable Cementitious Composite Development

    By Vignesh M., John Paul V., Balasundaram N., Subash Tahanaban, Hariharasudhan S.

    Abstract: The increasing global demand for concrete critically intensifies the consumption of potable water, raising significant environmental concerns and depleting vital resources. Concurrently, the textile dyeing industry generates substantial volumes of wastewater, posing considerable disposal and pollution challenges. Our investigation explores a dual solution by utilizing treated textile dyeing wastewater as an alternative mixing water source, combined with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and perlite as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), …

    Development of a Natural Fiber Sand–Carbon Composite Filter Using Agave sisalana for Sustainable Domestic Sewage Treatment

    By Vignesh M., Muhammed Aamir Suhail, Manikandan C., Narendran M.S., Sarath B., Dinesh S.

    Abstract: This study presents an innovative approach to decentralized domestic sewage treatment by integrating Agave sisalana fibers as the core functional component within a composite filtration system. The filtration column was constructed using a vertical 1:3:1 layered configuration comprising silica sand (top), Agave sisalana fibers (middle), and activated carbon (bottom). Comprehensive experimental analyses were conducted to evaluate the system’s efficacy in removing key water quality parameters, including turbidity, total solids (TS), …

    Development and Characterization of Bottom Ash–Fly Ash–GGBS-Based Geopolymer Composites for Sustainable Applications

    By Vignesh M., Gunaseelan K., Balamurugesan T., Elavarasan S., Santhosh Kumar P., Dinesh S.

    Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable construction materials has spotlighted geopolymer concrete (GPC) as an environmentally viable substitute for conventional cement-based systems. This study presents an innovative dual-waste valorization approach, integrating pulverized bottom ash (BA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as binders while replacing sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃) in the alkaline activator with treated textile effluent. Unlike prior works that focus solely on solid waste incorporation, this research pioneers the …
