ASSESSMENT OF SOIL QUALITY NEAR A CEMENT INDUSTRY USING ALTERNATIVE FUEL RESOURCES NEAR NEEMUCH, KHOR VILLAGE, MADHYA PRADESH (INDIA)

Abstract

Soil is one of the most significant environmental factor, which is caused from the surface rocks and plants based on it for their nutrition, water supply and mineral supply. The exchange of fossil fuels by optional fuels in the manufacture of cement clinker is of great significance both for cement manufacturers and for environment. The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of cement industry on soil present in nearby areas of cement industry of ACC cement plant in khor village Neemuch district, Madhyapradesh. The 5 nearby Areas of Cement plant selected for study are Nayagaon, Jawad, Suwakheda, Aathna, and Ummedpura Neemuch District, Madhya Pradesh. In addition, the utilization of alternative fuels can decrease the expenses of concrete production. It has been seen that steady drop of cement dust on soil causes pollution. Chemical analysis of soil in and around the industrial zone of a cement industry was examined and it was seen that as the distance from industry builds, the impact of soil contamination reduces, extensively for pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium content.
