E-Waste, Compressive Strength, Workability Parameters, Disposal, PCB, Landfill, Toxic Chemicals

At present demand of infrastructure is increasing day by day. The basic fundamental component for construction of any infrastructure is concrete. Concrete which is widely used in the building materials is popular for its strength and durability. The ratio of demand vs supply of material is increase rapidly. Thus, to overcome the demand of natural material such as aggregate and cement, it is necessary to find alternative of these materials. On the other hand, electronic waste generation is also an emerging issue posing serious problems to the environment. Generation of e-waste is very serious issue in the world. In year 2017 produce near about 79000 MT of electronic scrap in India. Disposal of e-waste is a typical task faced in many regions across the globe. Our aim is solving the disposal of large amount of electronic scrap, partial use in concrete industry is considered as the most feasible application. The e-waste like non-metallic part is PCB (printed circuit board) plate can be recovered and can be used as an ingredient in concrete. So, we can use this e-waste to achieve desire concrete terms of their properties.
