“…In the case of unfired bricks through cementing process, thermal performance mainly depends on the porosity and bulk density of the constituent material properties. The lighter the self-weight of brick, the more pores will result in lower thermal conductivity values [101,102]. Better use of natural organic materials represents a porous structure with lower density and a lower rate of heat transmission.…”

Use of bricks and their manufacturing process plays an important role in the construction sector. Despite its various methods of manufacturing, still large quantities of bricks are used in the building construction. Manufacturing of bricks consumes large quantities of natural resources, and it is energy intensive. Similarly, due to rapid industrialization large quantities of waste industrial byproducts are generated and causes handling and disposal challenges of these wastes. This review work attempts the possibilities and potential use of various types of waste industrial byproducts in fired and unfired bricks. This study also highlights the importance of waste and its usage guidelines in bricks manufacturing to enhance the strength and durability properties. To overcome the challenges associated with bricks manufacturing, firing is still considered as the most preferred method of making bricks. Use of industrial waste byproducts to the mix matrix of fire and unfired bricks will overcome the disposal challenges and reduce the depletion of natural resources. Since sustainability is a key factor that is considered when it comes to making bricks, innovative methods are needed to produce them using sustainable materials. The production and application of bricks and their usage guidelines are reviewed further in various aspects such as environment, social, economic, and technology to meet global standards and policies of the local government for sustainable development.

“…A common type of soil widely used for construction is laterite. Laterite soil is characterized by strong weathering and a red-brown leached residue resulting from the natural process of laterization in tropical and sub-tropical regions [2,3]. They are found on all continents [3] but are reported according to soil survey report (soil taxonomy) to be Nigeria's most abundant soil materials [4].…”

This study investigates the influence of cow bone powder (CBP) on consistency and compaction characteristics of lime-stabilized soil. Twelve soil samples were collected from four routes connecting Ado-Ekiti. Index and compaction tests were performed on the natural and stabilized samples. The soil samples were classified according to AASHTO groups and eventually restructured into four (4) groups: A-6, A-7-6, A-4, and A-7-5. They were named samples A, B, C, and D respectively. The oxide compositions of the samples were determined. Lime was blended with soils at proportions of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,10 %, and the optimal lime content (LimeOpt) was obtained. The LimeOpt + soil mixture was mixed with 2, 4, 6, 8,10 % of CBP. The Soil + LimeOpt + CBP mixtures were subjected to consistency limits and compaction tests. Plasticity index (PI) of soils A, B, C, and D was 14.19, 21.06, 11.64, and 14.19 % respectively, while the MDD was 1640, 1730, 1630, and 1631 kg/m3. Soil A, B, C, and D + LimeOpt all had reduced PIs of 7.68, 16.40, 5.04, and 12.05%, respectively. For the MDD of soil + LimeOpt mixtures, 1789, 1920, 1906, and 1898 kg/m3 were also found for Samples A, B, C, and D. Soil + LimeOpt + CBP showed that both the PI (from 0.6 to 81.7%) and MDD (from 0.1 to 14.6%) improved. On the other hand, the addition of lime to soils A, B, C, and D showed that 8% lime content offered the optimal CBR performance. Further addition of CBP to the soil + LimeOpt mixtures equally improved both the soaked and unsoaked CBR of soils A, B, C, and D predominantly with 6% CBP addition offering the peak performance. This suggests that CBP is viable and can save cost, mitigate environmental hazards, and complement lime. Strength and durability evaluation of the ternary mixture is however recommended.

“…China generated approximately 18-20 × 10 8 m 3 of RS in 2017 [11]. The arbitrary piling of RS leads to the wastage of soil (rock) resources, land encroachment, and air pollution due to the production of dust [12]. Furthermore, RS may lead to geological hazards, such as landslides and mudslides [13].…”

Using construction residual soil (RS) as the raw material, RS-derived zeolite (RSDZ) was prepared through a fusion-hydrothermal process. The adsorption performance and mechanisms of RSDZ for Pb2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ were investigated in single-component and competitive systems. The strong RSDZ X-ray diffraction peaks at 2θ = 12.47, 17.73, 21.65, 28.18, and 33.44°, together with the results of scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) indicated that NaP1 zeolite (Na6Al6SiO32∙12H2O) was successfully synthesised. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, average pore size, and cation exchange capacity increased from 9.03 m2∙g−1, 18.85 nm, and 0.12 meq∙g−1 to 47.77 m2∙g−1, 41.60 nm, and 0.61 meq∙g−1, respectively, after the fusion-hydrothermal process. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity of RSDZ for Zn2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ in the unary systems was 0.37, 0.38, and 0.40 mmol·g−1, respectively. Increasing the initial solution pH facilitated the adsorption reaction, and the adsorption performance was stable when pH > 3. The distribution coefficients in the binary and ternary systems indicated that RSDZ had greater affinity for Pb2+ and Zn2+ than for Cu2+ due to the larger ionic radius and relative atomic weight of the former two cations. The relative affinity to Pb2+ and Zn2+ was related to their concentration, with more competitive adsorption of Pb2+ at concentrations higher than 0.4 mmol·L−1 in binary systems and 0.25 mmol·L−1 in ternary systems. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and FT-IR analyses indicated that ion exchange was the main mechanism involved in the adsorption of heavy metal ions by RSDZ, accompanied by ligand exchange.
