Mining Waste Utilization as a Sound Absorbing Material

Abstract

The bricks used for construction purposes are not able to control sound. Although the old bricks are replaced by mining waste fly ash nowadays for waste management , the use of other mining waste as bricks is also a challenging factor. Hence, in this paper experimentation is conducted to find the best noise absorbing material by using different mining waste, like tailing waste iron mines. To improve sound absorbing property, porosity and water absorption tests are also conducted by adding rice husk.
