Abstract
Leveraging industrial solid waste (ISW) in construction and road materials brings forth a multitude of advantages, encompassing resource conservation, environmental protection, and cost efficiency. Through the addition of a suitable activator, ISW can be transformed into ISW-based cementitious materials (ISWC), offering a practical alternative to traditional ordinary Portland cement-based cementitious materials (OPCC). This study systematically reviews the relevant literature, redefines key issues in the existing field, and provides a detailed summary of the physical and chemical characteristics of various common ISW. It integrates theories from different disciplines to offer a comprehensive summary of the latest advancements in the physical and mechanical properties, durability, microstructure, nanoscopic performance, environmental impact assessments, life cycle cost analyses, and related policy frameworks of ISWC. A comparative analysis of ISWC and OPCC is conducted, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages in various aspects. However, due to the ambiguous interactions between different ISW categories, the widespread implementation of ISWC faces significant challenges. Moreover, addressing the connection between macro and micro scales, bridging the gap between molecular dynamics simulations and experimental, and exploring the potential of ISWC as an adsorbent for heavy metals and radioactive substances are important focal points for future research. This review provides scientific foundations for ISW resource utilization, environmental pollution control, and sustainable development, thereby promoting the broad application of ISWC.
