Aydin et al. [43] used granite waste as an abrasive added to the water jet used to cut the marble. It is revealed that the granite particles show similar performance with garnet in terms of the ...

2.1. Use of marble waste as a partial replacement for conventional coarse aggregate. Marble waste was judged as a potential replacement for conventional coarse aggregates first by Binici et al. (Citation 2008).They had compared the behaviour of concrete mixes completely made with marble waste as coarse aggregate with mixes …

Granite dust is a waste material produced during cutting and polishing process of granite products [1], [16]. Fine aggregate is an essential component of concrete [3], [6]. Grzegorz Prokopski et al. [7] conducted experiment by replacing sand partially with granite dust and compared with conventional concrete. Results showed that water ...

The general sources of receiving molding sands are the sea shores, rivers, lakes, deserts and granular elements of rocks. Molding sands can be classified mainly into two types namely natural or synthetic. Natural molding sands contains sufficient amount of binder material. Whereas synthetic molding sands are prepared artificially using basic …

The fresh moulding sand prepared in the foundry should have the following composition: Silica 75% (approx.) Soil 10-15%. Bentonite 2-5% (as required) Coal dust 5-10%. Humidity 6–8%. Core sand …

The results show that use of Industrial waste will build the quality of the self-compacting concrete when compared and Normal self compacting concrete. But it should not exceed 10% of granite waste and 20% of foundry sand. IndexTerms - Granite waste, self compacting concrete, foundry sand, polypropylene fibers and Conplast SP-430.

Brazil produces massive amounts of granite sawing waste and coffee husk ash and their inadequate and, often, illegal disposal causes enormous environmental problems. In the past decade, these and other industrial wastes have been intensively studied aiming at determining their potential as alternative raw materials, particularly for …

Although the use of waste foundry sand (WFS) in concretes is already widespread, there is a gap regarding to waste foundry exhaust sand (WFES) and durability. In this research, the marble/granite processing waste (MGPW) was used as mineral addition, to improve the concrete viscosity, and WFES was used as a partial substitute …

Large quantities of coarse solid wastes are generated during mining and quarrying both marble and granite rocks in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. These large quantities are major environmental concern in the surrounding area of quarry site. However, due to the similarity of these wastes to conventional aggregates, they could be potential source of …
