Granite waste GW produced during the cutting and polishing activities of granite stone factories located in the Chrachria region of Medea Algeria was used as recycled fine aggregates After their collection and crushing to transform into grains Fig 3 they were used to substitute natural sand in volumetric amounts of 10% 20% 30% 40%
On the other hand the industrial wastes are increasing year by year which are creating problem from sustainability point of view Worldwide many industrial wastes such as coal bottom ash from power plants foundry sand from metal casting industry copper slag from metal industry crushed rock dust from stone quarry construction and demolition wastes from
In various researches carried out using waste PET products as lightweight aggregates [38] [44] [45] a granulometry of 5 15 mm has been used as a substitution of sand in concrete along with granulated blast furnace slag GBFS PET monofilaments which are hydrophobic are used in fiber reinforced mortar and concrete and have shown no effect
Nagraj et al [11] used the waste granite sludge as a PR of sand for the re grading of soil to be used in the preparation of compressed stabilized earth blocks CSEBs Granite sludge was used at a proportion of up to 60% with a gap of 30 and the engineering properties of the prepared blocks were evaluated for a curing age up to 5 years
Many studies have been carried out recently for the utilization of granite wastes Dhanapandian et al 2009 characterized and evaluated the possibilities of using the granite and marble sawing wastes as alternative raw materials in the production of bricks Their study showed that the bulk density compressive strength flexural strength increased with the addition of
When granite waste is used as fine aggregate replacement its particle size almost similar to fine aggregate The particular gravity of granite waste varies in range of based upon its source stone Ghannam et al [15] investigated the properties of concrete using Granite Powder as an alternative to sand Granite Powder was
specimens bricks with granite sawing powder waste and silica fume using four mix ratio of clay granite sawing powder waste such as 50 45 5 50 40 10 50 35 15 and 50 30 20 • To study the compressive strength and water absorption of brick specimens bricks with granite sawing powder waste and silica fume • To study all kinds of
The granite saw dust comprises of calcium and iron which has the compatibility to acid soils granite waste powder is used as a suitable means to neutralize acid soils [Barral et al 2005] Use of granite and marble rock waste found to be effective in the production of concrete for civil construction [Hanifi et al 2008]
The Use of the Granite Waste Material as an Alternative for Silica Flour in Oil Well Cementing Abdulmalek Ahmed Ahmed Abdulhamid Mahmoud and Salaheldin Elkatatny materials in oil well It is very fine silica sand that contains a highly pure and high content of silica more than 98% The main purpose of using silica flour in
Granite powder is generated as a waste in granite industry Granite is a widely used rock in buildings It belongs to the igneous rock family [16] Granite rock is known for its glossy polished finish and its sheer strength capacity When the granite rocks are cut or polished in quarry a dust is created with granular granite particles [18
Waste foundation sand WFS is one of the most abundant residues in the foundation industry Currently its annual production is estimated to be three million tons This material has properties that make it an attractive candidate for implantation as an alternative constituent to a natural fine aggregate in concrete applications This application can promote
Granite is a commonly used as an ornamental stone as well as a building material India is one of the leading nations in the production and export of granite and other stones with about 110 varieties of different colours and textures [20] The granite stone industries in India produces vast amount of by product rock waste and as a result many residential and
The increase in the concrete demand due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization may lead to a shortage of natural resources Therefore the use of recycled material in the batching of concrete will be helpful to meet the demands of the time without compromising the quality of concrete production One such waste material produced in Pakistan is waste
The f t results exhibited the same behavior of compressive strength as shown in Fig 8; increasing GP and BP contents led to an increase in f t for mixes GP 5 GP 10 BP 5 and BP 10 which were
a River Sand and Granite Waste b Local river sand met IS 383 2006 zone II requirements This was done using the process in IS 2386 Part I and II 1963 c The crusher units produce granite waste in slurry form A physical mechanism granite powder disperses
Use of granite dust as an alternative to sand in the production of 1 3 cement mortar proportion has also been evaluated Using the waste up to 10% replacement as a replacement of sand improved compressive and flexural strength of the mixes This was due to the ability of the granite waste to act as a filler However an
Ornamental stone industry waste management present strategy is to discharge the waste in landfills regardless of the potential use these by products may present for other industries When stone slurry is disposed in landfills its water content is drastically reduced and the stone dust resulting from this presents several environmental impacts
The foundry industry waste can be a promising alternative to natural sand in concrete Many studies have been performed on the use of waste foundry sand in concrete and concrete related items
Green sand moulding is by far the most diversified and well known method used in metal casting operations and is performed by 85% of foundries EPA 1981 This process uses a mixture of silica sand which provides the structure for the mould 2 10% of coal dust commercially known as black mineral to increase the refractory of the sand and 3 10%
Granite is a commonly used as an ornamental stone as well as a building material India is one of the leading nations in the production and export of granite and other stones with about 110 varieties of different colours and textures [20] The granite stone industries in India produces vast amount of by product rock waste and as a result many residential and
