Abstract
Abstract: The by-product of sugar industry- distillery spent wash, is the unwanted residual liquid waste generated during alcohol production and pollution caused by it is one of the most critical environmental issue because it poses a serious threat to the water quality in several regions around the globe. Despite standards imposed on effluent quality, untreated or partially treated effluent very often finds access to water courses. The ever-increasing generation of distillery spent wash on the one hand and stringent legislative regulations of its disposal on the other has stimulated the need for developing new technologies to process this effluent efficiently and economically. This paper presents an overview on experimental study on usage of spent wash in concrete with various percentages and its alternative use in various sectors. The contribution of distillery waste i.e. spent wash on the mechanical properties of concrete is high compared to conventional concrete.
