Abstract The ability to transport nanoparticles through porous media has interesting engineering applications, notably in reservoir capacity exploration and soil remediation. A series of core-flooding experiments were conducted for quantitative analysis functionalized TiO 2 various including calcite, dolomite, silica, limestone rocks. adsorption surfactants on the rock surface nanoparticle rete...

Fast pyrolysis of rice husk was performed in a spout-fluid bed to produce water-soluble organics. The effects of mineral bed materials (red brick, calcite, limestone, and dolomite) on yield and quality of organics were evaluated with the help of principal component analysis (PCA). Compared to quartz sand, red brick, limestone, and dolomite increased the yield of the water-soluble organics by 6-...

Limestone hills are now gaining global conservation attention as hotspots for short-range endemic species. Levels of land snail endemism can be high at limestone hills, especially at hill clusters that are geographically isolated. In the State of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia, limestone hills have been opportunistically surveyed for land snails in the past, but the majority have yet to be surveyed...

The ASTM C150 standard specification for Portland cement now permits the cement to contain up to 5% of ground limestone. While these and much higher levels of limestone filler substitution have been employed in Europe and elsewhere for many years, changing the ASTM standard has been a slow process. Having computational tools to assist in better understanding the influence of limestone additions...

Problem statement: Making iron ore is one of the largest mining projects in south east of china. Due to the development of mining activities in that site, it has become necessary to increase the depth of exploration. Increase the exploration depth makes the mining tunnels subjected to the karst water inrush. Approach: A hydrological and a hydrogeological model for the Makeng area have been deve...

Limestone is mainly constituent of chemical compound calcium carbonate (CaCo3). It is basically called sedimentary rock substance. As per researchers it forms 10% of total volume of Sedimentary rock. The extrusion & Implementation of limestone in any form deals with ease of work and as a less pollutant for Environment, hence it can be massively used and utilized as a replacement to coarse aggre...

This document is to serve as background technical information for engineers, specifiers, and other concrete technologists on use of limestone in hydraulic cements in amounts up to 15% (focusing on amounts between 5% and 15%). The document also provides supporting data for standardization of limestone blended cements in ASTM C595 and AASHTO M240. Environmental benefits are noted as well as a his...

Over the last few years the Texas Department of Transportation has expressed concern about mineralogical segregation (variation) of coarse aggregates used in bituminous mixes; problems are associated with variation in the quality of aggregates taken from a quarry/gravel pit. The primary objective of this project was to examine the effects of poor quality coarse limestone aggregate on hotmix asp...
