Abstract
Increasing growth of the petroleum industry has resulted in huge amounts of various waste materials, which need proper disposal and valorization. The complexity, slow rate, and high cost of various remediation methods for wastes from the petroleum industry and the potential of utilizing these wastes in construction sectors have attracted huge attention. To select the best utilization option for petroleum industry wastes, the composition, microstructure of waste materials, and their influence and mechanism on the targeted construction materials must be clarified. Such data may help researchers predict the physical and chemical properties of newly developed formulations and tailor them based on their required composition by using optimum admixture components and additional treatments. Despite research on the utilization of petroleum waste materials in the construction industry, they are relatively incremental and limited in scope and need more scientific attention considering the composition, structure, influence of various components on one another in admixture formulation, preparation mechanism, effect of treatments, eco-friendliness, and cost efficiency. This paper provides an overview on the utilization of various petroleum waste materials in construction sectors and provide some directions for future research.
