      properties with and without Aspergillus niger fungus: a green building approach.

AB  - Induction furnace dust (IFD) is a waste product of the alloy-making process whose 
      disposal by landfill process becomes unsafe due to the presence of heavy metals 
      in high concentrations. It further reduces the fertility of soil and pollutes the 
      air making it harmful for human health. However, efforts can be made to utilize 
      this dust in construction material as it has the same oxides (silica, aluminium 
      oxide, and magnesium oxide) as found in cement, bricks, fine aggregates, coarse 
      aggregates, etc. This study is aimed at the utilization of pre-treated induction 
      furnace dust with Aspergillus niger fungus to replace cement for the construction 
      of concrete structures through Taguchi design of experiments (DOE). The purpose 
      of Aspergillus niger fungus is to reduce the heavy metal concentration from IFD 
      to prevent the surroundings from getting toxic. The optimization of operating 
      parameters such as dust replacement (5%, 10%, and 15%), curing days (7, 14, and 
      28 days), and cell count of fungus (10(4), 10(6), and 10(8) CFU/ml of distilled 
      water) is done using Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (G.A.) for effective 
      compressive strength and water absorption capacity of cubes. The best results 
      have been found in the case of IFD treated with Aspergillus niger fungus having 
      dust replacement, curing time, and cell count of 14.96%, 28 days, and 9.22 x 
      10(7) CFU/ml of distilled water respectively for concrete production.
