KERALA FLOOD WATER vs SLUDGE GENERATED
The devasting flood that had occured in Kerala ,displaced lakhs of people and damaged vegitation, buildings and the life long house hold savings and of course hundreds of human lives and animals too. Rescue operation is over and now rehabilitation process is going on in war footing. Almost all the houses , buildings and the roads are filled with mud. The mud/slit is estimated to be thousands of tons. Now cleaning process is going on. Seeing the visuals, a foot or so hight mud is being removed and washed out. These accumulated, thrown out "waste" is my subject for discussion.
This is a purely a technical approach which may help the individuals and the industry and of course the civil administration in managing one part of the waste disposal.
1.Individual: This mud or the slit is good for gardening. It should contain all the neutrients for the plant. Every house hold may by now generated around 200 to 500 kg of dry equivalent. This may be heaped in a corner of the house and used as manure for the garden. By doing this civil administration's disposal of these in bulk can be eased.
2.Industry (local ceramic )
The settled slit should be of fine particle size and should have high plasticity. For the pottery preparation this may be useful. These industries can buy it from the houses/ local administration thereby some revenue gain can be achieved.
3.Clay industries.
English Indian Clays/ Ashapura mine chem/RRL may use their reputed R and D labs to find out some means to utilise this slit in a useful ways. In my opinion (I had worked in R and D),this slit should have high sub micron particles and hence good for paper and paint industries. To improve the colour proper bleaching methods to be found out by the R and D team. Hydros/Chorine/ozone may be tried out. But pure white colour can be achieved on calcination. If R and D comes out with a positive suggestion, this slit can be purchased by the processing industries. Thus civil administration can generate more money.
Waste becomes wealth.
Disposal burden can be solved.
