There are still some problems with the more appealing sustainable reuse of pre-treated drill cuttings as a partial
replacement for fine aggregate in concrete for building applications. This review takes a look at the potential of
near-infrared spectroscopy, which has recently been used to non-invasively determine chloride concentration in
concrete structures, to quickly determine other important physicochemical properties of concrete made with this
hazardous waste. There is a study of drill cuttings' characteristics, origin, content, ecological impacts, and
management choices. We also go over some of the lessons learned from using near-infrared diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy in real-world soil, petrochemical, environmental, and civil engineering applications while
highlighting its basic principles. For improved sustainability as a building material, we also provide a framework
for fast near-infrared examination of concrete made with pre-treated drill cuttings - Downloads
