Wollastonite is a naturally occurring acicular or fibrous metasilicate used in ceramics and as a substitute for asbestos in some applications. Wollastonite fibers are rather similar in form, length, and diameter to amphibole asbestos fibers but mineralogically they are different. Dust measurements in both the Finnish limestone--wollastonite quarry and in the flotation plant yielded high concent...

Abstract In this study, variable returns to scale (VRS) data envelopment analysis was integrated into the Taguchi approach optimize ternary additives for expansive soil enhancement. The selected were sawdust ash (SDA), quarry dust (QD) and ordinary Portland cement (OPC). set as input variables while multiple responses obtained from experiments performed with orthogonal array output variables. E...

In this study the effect of human urine on lithobiontic microorganisms colonizing dolostones from a historic quarry (Redueña, Madrid, Spain) was evaluated in situ by means of a field experiment. The application of the bioproduct was performed by directly spraying onto the rock surface of the quarry front during 8 weeks. After the treatment, the ultrastructure of Verrucaria nigrescens was analys...

The Upper Triassic Snyder quarry is the second-most productive theropod locality in the Chinle Group. Skull and postcranialelements, particularly tibiae, collected from the Snyder quarry during the last three field seasons demonstrate the presence of at least four individuals of two taxa. The smaller theropod strongly resembles, but is distinct from, the holotype of Eucoelophysis baldwini Sulli...

The utilization of waste materials in concrete is now a widely used concept that counteracts the depletion natural resources. In addition to this, it will untangle disposal nature and find an alternative approach shelter environmental Due rapid growth industrialization, management has become increasingly challenging recent years. Several could be whole or part replace cement aggregates. main di...

A study of the bond characteristics of carbonate aggregates was made by applyirig shear stresses to 1/8-inch thick slices of highway concrete. It was found that aggregates can be classified as strong, indeterminate, and weak relative to the matrix of the concrete, when accurate lithological cataloging of the aggregates from the source quarry section is made prior to the shear study. Definite cl...

background: respiratory problem is one of the major health hazards in dust-exposed workers; it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. objective: to determine the prevalence of respiratory problems and lung function impairment among quarry workers in ebonyi state, nigeria. methods: respiratory problems and lung function were studied in 403 quarry workers aged 10–60 years...
