The increasing industrial solid wastes have become a public hazard, such as occupation of land, maintenance costs, overflow or collapse, and pollution of soil, water and atmosphere. As a result, the environmental pollution and social problems caused by industrial solid wastes are being paid more and more attention around the world. The reasonable utilization of industrial solid wastes is changing an urgent problem to be solved for the national economic and social development. In this work, the current situation of solid waste utilization at home and abroad was briefly introduced. The characteristics of chemical and phase composition of several kinds of industrial solid wastes were investigated. The harmless, reduction and recycling utilization ways of industrial solid wastes were discussed. The new concepts and methods for the best combination and the maximum use of wastes were reported, which depends on the cooperation complementation restraint effects from chemical compositions of different solid wastes. Meanwhile, the latest achievements in the high content, high valueadded use of industrial solid wastes were also reported. At last, the authors offered the future research content and direction of using industrial solid wastes to prepare new construction materials.
