Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present disclosure pertains to a method for transforming wastes in construction materials. Specifically, the present disclosure pertains to a method that utilizes wastes of textile and glass and transforms in useful and sustainable construction material.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] The management of waste materials has become a critical concern in contemporary society due to the escalating environmental impacts of improper disposal and the depletion of natural resources. While considerable attention has been directed towards addressing the plastic waste crisis, other non-biodegradable waste types, notably textile and glass waste, have often been overlooked despite their significant environmental implications.

[003] Textile waste, including discarded clothing, fabric scraps, and related products, constitutes a substantial portion of non-biodegradable waste generated worldwide. The disposal of textile waste primarily occurs through landfilling, contributing to the growth of landfills and their associated environmental problems. Additionally, the incineration of textile waste releases harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, leading to air quality issues and environmental degradation.

[004] Glass waste presents a similar environmental challenge, encompassing discarded glass bottles, containers, and other glass products. Glass, although durable, is non-biodegradable and necessitates significant energy for production and recycling. Addressing effective reuse and recycling of glass waste has become a priority for reducing the environmental footprint of such materials.

[005] Further, producing of construction material like bricks or paver blocks requires soil, cement, sand and other natural or artificial materials which otherwise can be used for other purposes.

[006] Hence, there is a need for a method that utilizes wastes and transforms in useful and sustainable construction material and alleviates some of the above mentioned drawbacks.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[007] Some of the objects of the arrangement of the present disclosure are aimed to ameliorate one or more problems of the prior art or to at least provide a useful alternative and are listed herein below.

A principle object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for transforming wastes of textile and glass to useful construction materials provides high compression strength and there is efficient and sustainable utilization of non-biodegradable waste materials, which can replace or complement traditional building products, contributing to eco-friendly construction practices.

Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for transforming wastes of textile and glass to construction materials that mitigates the environmental harm caused by the disposal of textile and glass waste, including the reduction of land pollution resulting from landfilling and the decrease of air pollution resulting from incineration.

Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for transforming wastes of textile and glass to construction materials that eliminates use of natural materials like soil and sand other materials like cement.

Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying figures, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[009] The present invention is a method for transforming wastes of textile and glass to construction materials like bricks and/or paver blocks. The textile wastes and the glass wastes are bonded by a bonding material to form bricks and/or paver blocks. Thus, the textile wastes and the glass wastes are utilized to form construction materials and hence save the environment from the accumulation of such wastes and reuse the wastes to form a needed product, namely, the construction material like paver blocks and/or bricks. The transforming of the textile wastes and glass wastes to constructional material like bricks or paver blocks avoids the need of raw materials like soil, cement, sand and other natural or artificial materials which are conventionally used for making constructional material and such raw materials are usable for other purposes.

[010] The construction material of the present invention is prepared by utilizing textile wastes, glass wastes and bonding material. The textile wastes and the glass wastes are collected from the factories. The textile wastes can be collected from the factories making and processing textiles. The glass wastes can be collected from the factories making and processing glasses. Though, the present disclosure is described by collecting textile wastes and glass wastes from commercial establishments like factories, however, the source of collection of the textile wastes and the glass wastes are not limited to the commercial establishments and other sources like domestic collection of wastes are within the scope of the present invention. Depending on the type (like paver block or bricks or hardness required for the construction material) of construction material to be produced, the bonding material can be selected from sand and cement concrete mixture, fly ash, lime, gypsum, chemical hardener or combinations thereof.

[011] The present invention is a method for transforming wastes of textile and glass to construction materials, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the steps of preparing a particulate-composite by mixing shredded and grinded textile waste and glass waste, mixing a particulate-composite with water, introducing bonding material, molding, vibrating and compacting and curing and drying. The steps are described in details in the subsequent paragraphs.

[012] The step of preparing a particulate-composite by mixing shredded and grinded textile waste and glass waste. In the present step, the particulate-composite is prepared from textile wastes and glass wastes. The textile wastes and glass wastes are mixed in a known mixer (typically in mixer – Mixwell from Hardic Engineering). More specifically, the textile wastes and the glass wastes are collected and then shredded and grinded. The textile wastes can be collected from the domestic or commercial establishments. The glass wastes can be collected from the domestic or commercial establishments. The step of shredding and grinding includes shredding and grinding textile wastes and glass wastes to achieve small sized particles typically in range from 1 micrometer to 5 millimeters (i.e. 1µm to 5 mm). The shredding and grinding of textile wastes is performed individually. Alternatively, the shredding and grinding can be performed collectively. Shredding and grinding are performed on known shredding and grinding machines.

[013] In the next step there is mixing of the particulate-composite with water. The ratio of particulate-composite to water is 2:1, that is two parts of particulate-composite and one part of water which is readily available. The water is added in the same known mixer, typically Mixwell from Hardic Engineering as disclosed.

[014] The next step is introducing the mixture of textile wastes, glass wastes and water with a bonding material to achieve a mixture-composite. The bonding material is one or more of sand and cement concrete mixture, fly ash, lime, gypsum, chemical hardener or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the shredded and grinded textile waste is in the range from 15 to 45 %, the shredded and grinded glass waste is in the range from 10 to 45% and the bonding material includes sand and concrete mixture in the range from 05 to 75% and fly ash in the range from 05 % to 45%. In one embodiment, a colorant is added to achieve colored mixture-composite. The bonding material is added in the in the same known mixer typically Mixwell from Hardic Engineering as disclosed.

[015] The next step is filling the mixture-composite in a mold of a desired shape of a brick or a paver block of predecided dimensions. The next step is vibrating and compacting the mixture-composite within the mold. In one embodiment, the vibration and compacting is performed in a known machine of make Hardic Engineering Model FAM 2520 – Heavy vibro with pressure machine (4 in 1 model using German technology). The step of vibrating is performed at a frequency of 4 cycles per minute for a duration in the range from 8 to 10 minutes/hours.

[016] The last step is of curing and drying the mixture-composite at a temperature in the range from 25 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius for a time duration in the range from 72 hours to 96 hours to obtain the construction material. The curing and drying is performed in the machine disclosed in the above paragraph 015.

[017] In one embodiment, the construction material can be bricks in which mixture of the textile waste is considered approximately 30%, the glass waste is considered approximately 25%, the fly ash is considered approximately 30%, the lime is considered approximately 10% and the gypsum is considered approximately 5%. In another embodiment, the construction material can be paver block in which the mixture of the textile waste is considered approximately 30%, the glass waste is considered approximately 30%, the sand cement concrete mix 35% and the color and chemical hardener like Quick cure & Razons VTNB A-1 is considered approximately 5%. In yet another embodiment, the textile wastes and glass wastes are transformed in precast wall panels, parapet beams, staircase, hollow core slab, pod elements, ceilings and other structures that can be precasted.
