A common effluent treatment waste sludge being largest industry in India faces problem of sludge disposal. In this study an attempt is made to reuse common effluent treatment waste water sludge in solid blocks. Common effluent treatment waste water sludge is used to replace base material by weight up to15%. Blocks are casted by adding sludge after drying at 3000˚C to 6000˚C for 8, 16 and 24 hrs. Common effluent treatment waste water sludge can be added up to 15% as it gives compressive strength above 8.33 N/mm2 and water absorption ratio is obtained as less than 0.50%. Thus reuse of common effluent treatment waste water sludge in solid block is better option so that problem of ultimate disposal of common effluent treatment waste water sludge can be solved up to greater extent.
