Several process variables, including stand-off-distance, nozzle pressure, abrasive temperature and grain size, are taken into consideration during the experiments involving the thirty trials according to central composite design (CCD). The combined approach of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response surface method (RSM) in associated with desirability function analysis (DFA) has been utilized for assessment, predictive modelling and multiple response optimization of performance characteristics (Pc, Ra, Tv) in AJM. According to results, Statistical analysis of abrasive jet machining (AJM) on zirconia ceramics reveals that nozzle pressure is the most influential factor affecting surface roughness (64.91%), machine vibration (44.68%), and power consumption (74.89%). Higher nozzle pressure, larger abrasive grains, and greater stand-off distance increase roughness and vibration due to intensified impact forces. Heated abrasives improve surface quality by enhancing plastic deformation. While larger grains and higher pressures raise energy demands and tool vibration, increased abrasive temperature and stand-off distance help reduce both by promoting thermal softening and lowering particle momentum, making abrasive temperature a promising factor for improving machining efficiency. The developed RSM models accurately predict AJM performance, supported by low probability (<i>P</i>) value (&lt; 0.05), and high coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) value. The optimum results for power consumption, machine tool vibration and surface roughness were 0.86 kW, 0.623 m/s<sup>2</sup> and 2.193 µm, respectively, achieved at abrasive temperature of 130 °C, grain size of 250 µm, nozzle pressure of 2 kgf/cm<sup>2</sup> and stand-off-distance of 3 mm.

The literature consistently indicates that optimum RHA replacement levels of 10–20% enhance compressive strength by approximately 8–25%, while flexural and split tensile strengths improve by 5–20% compared with conventional concrete. Durability is significantly improved, with reductions in chloride permeability (30–70%), water absorption (10–40%), and sulfate and acid induced mass loss (up to 50%). Microstructural investigations using SEM and XRD attribute these improvements to secondary C–S–H formation, pore refinement, and densification of the interfacial transition zone.

In this study, a pioneering bibliometric analysis of 629 SCIE-indexed publications on FGD gypsum from 1985 to 2024 was conducted, revealing an evolutionary trajectory across four distinct phases: during the embryonic stage (2009–2015), the number of annual publications ranged from only 3 to 13; during the incubation stage (2016–2018), this number increased to 24–38 articles per year, and during the development stage (2019–2021) and in-depth development stage (2022–2024), publication count increased to 49–112 annually, with the latter phase alone accounting for 48.2% of the total papers across all four stages. Analysis of collaboration networks revealed that China and the United States were the leading contributors, representing 76.0% and 13.0% of total publications, respectively. Chinese institutions dominate the research landscape, accounting for 85% of the top 20 organizations globally in terms of FGD gypsum. FGD gypsum applications prioritize environmental protection, such as soil remediation, and construction, including the use of cement additives. Nevertheless, keyword and thematic evolution analyses reveal a notable recent shift: research focus is expanding from conventional material properties toward environmental remediation, particularly for low-carbon technologies such as mineral carbonation for CO₂ sequestration. Utilization of FGD gypsum remains limited by impurities, market acceptance, transportation costs, policies, and technological constraints, and future research should prioritize overcoming these technological challenges. On the basis of an extensive review and quantitative analysis, this study synthesizes global research outcomes on FGD gypsum. As the first comprehensive bibliometric review dedicated specifically to FGD gypsum, this study not only maps the knowledge landscape but also provides actionable insights for the transformation of waste into a resource. This study offers strategic references for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to advance sustainable management and high-value utilization of FGD gypsum.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":776,"journal":{"name":"Silicon","volume":"18 8","pages":"2749 - 2771"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148433717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
