Using sewage sludge to make concrete?

Dried sewage sludge could be recycled by adding it to cement to make concrete, scientists in Malaysia have discovered. Sludge is what’s left after treating sewage water. Sludge disposal options are limited in Malaysia due to strict environmental norms, including a ban in burying it in soil due to the high heavy metal content. According to the researchers from University technology MARA, while there is a “potential” to use dried sludge to make concrete, more research is needed to yield a better quality product.

  2. Putting infectious waste into cheap cinder blocks isn't as smart as it sounds. It will kill workers who make them, construction workers who build with them and the people who live and work in the buildings. http://crossbowcommunications.com/land-application-of-sewage-sludge-spreading-brain-disease/ Think again.
