There is a strong demand for environmentally safe reuse and effective disposal method for bagasse ash due to the increasing amount of sludge generated by the various industries or plant in India. Landfills are commonly used for disposal of sludge in India; rapid urbanization has made it increasingly difficult to find suitable landfill sites. Therefore, incineration has become one of the few alternatives available for disposal of sludge. The ultimate disposal of incinerated bagasse ash can is accomplished by using it engineering construction materials. One possible solution for the management of this sludge is to re-use it as a building material, namely, to incorporate this bagasse ash into bricks. The fired clay brick is one of the most common and abundant masonry building materials and remain popular for its many characteristic properties. As such, the recycling of waste materials by incorporating them into bricks has been a popular topic of investigation over the last century, with varying degrees of success across a wide range of waste material. This popularity is likely due to flexibility on the type of wastes which can be mixed into the brick making material, but more importantly, the high temperature involved in firing the bricks allows for the volatilization of dangerous component, as well as the fixation of wastes into the vitreous phase of the brick. The current study investigates the potential for reusing sugarcane sludge or bagasse ash by using it as a partial replacement material in fly ash bricks. Due to limited availability of natural resources and rapid urbanization, there is a shortfall of conventional building construction materials. Therefore, development of new technologies to recycle and convert waste materials into reusable materials is important for the protection of the environment and sustainable development of the society.
