Application of bio-fuel by-product sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) as a principle raw material for manufacturing of brick was studied. Bricks were manufactured using the quarry dust (QD) as a replacement to sand and lime (L) as a binder. Recycling of such waste as raw material alternatives may contribute in the exhaustion of natural resources and reduction in waste disposal. The brick was manufactured of size 230mm×110mm×80mm.All the bricks are kept for drying for 3 days followed by 7 days wet curing and then 7 days sun drying. The tests to be performed are Compressive strength test, Water absorption test, Efflorescence test, Impact test, Soundness test, Hardness test. Key words: Sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), Quarry dust (QD), Lime(L), Water, Cost effective. I. INTRODUCTION Due to limited availability of natural resources and rapid urbanization, there is a short fall of conventional building construction materials. The production of conventional building construction materials can cause environmental hazards and also affects the human health. Landfills are commonly used for disposal for sludge in India, rapid urbanization has made it increasingly difficult to find the 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 be accomplished by using it an engineering construction material. The waste from industries is very harmful for the environment as well as to our health, if not disposed in proper manner. The fibrous residue of sugarcane after crushing and extraction of its juice, known as “bagasse” is one of the largest agricultural residues in the world. The bagasse is however used as a bio mass fuel for boilers, but after burning the by-product left is of no use generally disposed into the rivers which affects the health of human being, environment, fertile land, sources of water bodies etc., Uses of sugarcane bagasse ash waste in brick can save the sugarcane industry disposal costs and produce a ‘greener’ brick for construction. II. SCOPE  To promote the solid waste from sugar mills as a useful product.  To manage the disposal of waste product into construction raw material.  To encourage the waste product as ecofriendly material.  To dispose the waste safely. III. LITERATURE REVIEW A. Bahurudeen, K. S Vaisakh, Manu Santhanam (July 2015), “Availability of sugarcane bagasse ash and potential for use as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete”. Rapid implementation of new cogeneration plants in sugar industries are further expected to increase bagasse ash generation significantly. Utilization of bagasse ash as supplementary cementitious material in concrete strive to achieve durable as well as sustainable concrete and can tackle the disposal problem significantly. Madurwar V. Mangesh, Mandavgane A. Sachin and Ralegaonkar V Rahul have studied that Application of bio- fuel by-product sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) as a principle raw material of manufacturing of bricks was studied. The bricks prepared in commercial plants using SBA, quarry dust and lime meet all the requirements as described in the Indian standards. Recycling of solid waste into sustainable, energy efficient construction material is the only viable solution to the environmental concerns and natural resource conservation for future generations.
