Abstract

Due to consumerism and accelerated technological development, the production of industrial effluents has grown exponentially every year. The treatment of those effluents creates a new problem: the production of by-products, such as sludges. Therefore, it is a need to develop ways to reuse and properly dispose this by-product. This study aimed to review the reusing potential of the sludge generated by the treatment of industrial effluents in civil construction. The research was conducted based on articles from the Scopus platform, published between 2018 and 2023, applying the PRISMA methodology and VosViewer software. The analysis revealed a scarcity of studies on the topic, highlighting the need for further research. However, it was found that sludge has the potential to be used in the manufacture of building materials, given that its chemical and physical characteristics are carefully considered to optimize its application.
