Transforming Water Treatment Sludge into Lightweight Aggregates: A Sustainable Approach for Resource Valorization
Publication Highlights
- Water treatment sludge (WTS) is incorporated to expanded clay for LWA production.
- The expanding properties of LWA are slightly reduced with WTS addition.
- LWAC formulated with commercial LWA is similar to LWAC with LWA containing WTS.
- WTS can be revalorised by LWA production.
