This book highlights the current research, conceptual and practical utilization of waste in building materials. It examines the production of industrial and agricultural wastes that have been generated worldwide and have significant environmental impact. The book discusses how to incorporate these wastes effectively with greener technology and how to address its environmental impact in order to produce environmentally friendly and sustainable green products. This book also will capitalize on its practical application, properties, performance and economic advantages. The topics covered include the physical, mechanical and environmental properties, leaching behaviour, gas emissions and performance of sustainable construction materials. This book offers a valuable reference for researchers, industries and interested stakeholders in sustainable construction or any allied fields.

This book presents high-quality peer-reviewed papers from the 3rd International Conference on Green Environmental Engineering and Technology (IConGEET), held in July 2021, Penang, Malaysia. The contents are broadly divided into four parts: (1) air pollution and climate change, (2) environment and energy management, (3) environmental sustainability, and (4) water and wastewater. The major focus is to present current researches in the field of environmental engineering towards green and sustainable technologies. It includes papers based on original theoretical, practical, and experimental simulations, development, applications, measurements, and testing. Featuring the latest advances in the field, this book serves as a definitive reference resource for researchers, professors, and practitioners interested in exploring advanced techniques in the field of environmental engineering and technologies.

Sludge is often associated with human waste from residential sludge. However, sludge can also be produced by industrial waste, hospital waste, wastewater treatment plant, runoff from the street, farmland and in some cases from landfill leachate. Generally, sludge from residential areas is in organic form. Thus, this waste causes less harm and impact to the environment compared to industrial waste. On the other hand, industrial sludge could be in organic or inorganic form. Inorganic content is always a main concern of industrial sludge especially heavy metals that require specific treatment to prevent environmental pollution.
