Description
Summary:Worldwide, there is a daily production of wastes include fly ash and jarosite which can have a detrimental effect on the environment. Many researchers have utilized fly ash and jarosite to fabricate products include bricks, concrete which are used in the construction industry. This review paper presents the characteristics of jarosite and fly ash. Furthermore, it summarizes selected studies carried out on the successful reuse of jarosite and fly ash as a component in some construction materials. It has been reported that using certain ratios in bricks and concretes made with jarosite and fly ash as constituents can display satisfactory mechanical properties such as compressive strength. Due to the high generation of wastes around the world, more studies are needed to investigate the environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness of products made with jarosite and fly ash as a component.
