MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511060330 A) filed by Dr Davinder Singh; Sanjeev Kumar; and Dr Tarun Kumar, Jalandhar, Punjab, on June 24, for 'geopolymerized lime stabilized fiber reinforced bottom ash brick.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Davinder Singh; Sanjeev Kumar; and Dr Tarun Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention (100) is an eco-friendly, non-fired brick composition utilizing Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash (MSW-IBA) (101) as a key material. By stabilizing MSW-IBA (101) with lime (102) (10% by weight) and reinforcing it with polypropylene fibres (104) (0.5% by weight, 6mm length), a durable, cost-effective brick is developed for non-load-bearing walls. Water (105) is added to achieve optimal moisture content, ensuring maximum dry density, while alkali activation further enhances strength. The bricks are compacted at a pressure of 150-200 kg/cm and cured in shade for ten days (107), eliminating the need for energy-intensive firing. This approach repurposes incineration residue, significantly reducing environmental impact and landfill waste while offering a sustainable construction material. The invention (100) promotes circular economy principles by transforming waste into valuable building components, providing a financially viable and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional brick-making methods."
