Sewage disposal and treatment is a multi-disciplinary concept, that is gaining wider importance today owing to gigantic amount of waste produced every second. It is important to ensure that the sewage and other waste are effectively removed or else it will result in the contamination of land and water. Although there are many sewage treatment methodologies and techniques in existence most of them lack proper efficiency and exerts a greater ecological footprint. The idea of this project is to develop a water treatment technology using a sustainable material; ‘Geopolymer Concrete’. The cement industries are one largest producers of CO2, producing up to 8% worldwide man-made emissions of CO2, in which 50% from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel. Conventional cement concrete also fuels the depletion of natural resources as it uses natural materials as aggregates. Owing to the increasing trends in construction field it is important to find a viable and sustainable replacement for conventional PCC. Geopolymer concrete is a cement free concrete and extensive researches today prove that GPC serves as a green replacement option. It also exhibits good engineering properties similar to that of PCC at the same time being greener. This paper discusses about geopolymer concrete and its engineering properties and hence thereby explains that it can serve as a viable replacement for concrete and at the same time urging the world to shift towards a greener construction method.
