Cadmium Elimination Feasibility Study Using Bentonite Modified Green Concrete

Cadmium is a heavy metal with many environmental degradation effects that is available in various industries. Considering the use of concrete as the most expensive construction materials, this study investigates the removal of heavy cadmium metal by concrete modified with bentonite, Bentonite, as a clay absorber from the clay family, has a Monte Morillonite. Bentonite has good absorption properties as well as good mixing with concrete materials. In recent years, the use of various wastes, including glass and bricks in concrete has been greatly appreciated. In this study, the construction and testing of green mixing concrete (concrete in accordance with the plan for the use of recycled materials and reducing environmental damage) using recyclable glass and brick materials. This concrete has non-structural standard concrete properties with bentonite. Green mixing concrete has the property of removing cadmium, one of the most hazardous materials and heavy metals. It is a concrete for use with various constructional concrete, and especially industrial sewage ponds.
