Recycled powder is a kind of powder particle with a particle size of less than 75 μm produced in the process of preparing recycled aggregate from construction waste with concrete and brick as the main components. It has the potential to replace part of cement as an auxiliary cementitious material. This has important engineering application value for promoting the full-component and high-quality utilization of construction waste, which meets the needs of national sustainable development. Based on the physical and chemical characteristics of recycled powder, the preparation process and basic properties of the recycled powder were systematically analyzed. Based on the low activity of recycled powder, different methods of its activity excitation were described in detail. In addition, some existing problems in the current research were also prospected.
