Studying the Ability of Using by Product Water of Reverse Osmosis Plants to Production of Concrete

Abstract

Recently, reverse osmosis system has been widely used in Iraq to treatment water, reverse osmosis can be defined as a system used to improve the quality of water and purify it from pollutants and salts to be valid for human use. This system has been produced secondary water as by product result additionally to desalinated water. This research aims to examine the possibility of using this by product water to produce concrete compatible with Iraqi standard specification, samples of secondary water has been collected from separated areas in Holy Kerbala, and tested according to Iraqi specifications, and compare the results with limits of this specification.
