The resource utilization of marine-dredged sediment is considered a sustainable approach to its disposal. This paper investigates the preparation of non-sintered ceramsites from marine-dredged sediments and CSA cement via cold-bonded pelletization. The study examines the effects of various preparation conditions on the engineering properties, phase compositions and microstructures of non-sintered ceramsites. The results indicate that preparation conditions significantly influence the particle size distribution of non-sintered ceramsites. The early-strength development of non-sintered ceramsites prepared from CSA cement is remarkable, with the PCS achieving approximately 60% and 80% of the 28-day strength within 3 days and 7 days, respectively&mdash:a marked contrast to OPC. Response surface methodology analysis reveals significant interaction effects between the disc rotation angle, rotational speed, and duration of rotation on the PCS of non-sintered ceramsites. The open-ended porosity of non-sintered ceramsites exhibits greater sensitivity to changes in preparation parameters compared to closed-ended porosity and total porosity. The preparation conditions have negligible impact on the hydration process of CSA cement in non-sintered ceramsites. For both ellipsoidal and plate-like marine-dredged soil particles, ettringite and the AH3 phase provide effective pore-filling and binding effects in the microstructures of non-sintered ceramsites. These findings imply that low-carbon utilization of marine-dredged sediments through the preparation of non-sintered ceramsites offers a nature-based solution for sustainable management in coastal systems.
