An Overview on Tapping the Potential of Treated Wastewater for Concrete Curing to Ensure Sustainability

In today's contemporary world, concrete is a top choice, but curing issues persist due to water scarcity. Civil engineering offers alternatives like polyethylene and self-curing concrete, but they are costly. Over the past two decades, wastewater recycling for purposes like concrete curing has gained attention after treatment. The aim of this literature review is to thoroughly assess the viability of using treated wastewater, particularly sewage water, for the curing process. It focuses on articles from reputable journals published over the last decade. The review begins by examining concrete curing and its techniques and insufficiency cause. Subsequently, it delves into the philosophy of wastewater treatment need, source and the treatment process itself. Consequently, waste water treatment is suggested as an affordable and eco-friendly solution for concrete curing. Lastly, the feasibility of adopting treated waste water in developing nations is scrutinized, with an emphasis on its real-world applicability following comprehensive analysis of its overall performance. Membrane filtration technique is preferred for treatment of waste water due to its reasonable results.
