To address the low utilization rate of construction waste soil and the environmental impact of traditional cement solidification, this study investigates the effect of desulfurized gypsum and silica fume in synergy with cement for construction waste soil. The effects of solidifying material dosage, liquid-to-solid ratio, and mixing ratio on mechanical properties were analyzed. Optimal performance was achieved with the dosage of solidifying material was 20%, the liquid-to-solid ratio was 0.2, and the mixing ratio of desulfurized gypsum, silica fume, and cement was 2:1:1, meeting the requirements of the technical specification for application of road solidified soil (T/CECS 737-2020). This formulation is referred to as FS-C type solidified soil. A self-fabricated carbonation device was employed to assess carbonation methods, time, and curing age on the mechanical properties of solidified soil. Carbonation for 6 h post-molding significantly enhanced strength, while carbonation in a loose state led to strength reduction. SEM analysis revealed a denser microstructure in carbonated samples due to calcium carbonate and silica gel formation. Compared to traditional cement solidification, FS-C type solidified soil reduces cement consumption by 15%, decreases CO2 emissions by 299.25 g/m(3), and sequesters 85 g/m(3) of CO2. These findings highlight the potential of FS-C type solidified soil as an environmentally friendly alternative for construction applications.
