This study aims to achieve an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing process of
natural hydraulic lime (NHL) by assessing the influence of raw materials' chemical …

This study analyzes high-grade carbonate rocks from several strategic deposits in the
Arabian Peninsula and neighboring countries. The rocks are used locally for quicklime and …

Here, the potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in grading calcareous
rocks for the lime industry was investigated. In particular, we developed a system equipped …

Quicklime is produced through the thermal processing of limestone in industrial kilns. During
quarry operations, fine particulate quarry dust adheres to limestone lump surfaces …

In recent times, various types of water purification plants have been employed to produce
clean water from seawater, as a means to overcome water deficit problems. However, this …

In the field of historical buildings, the wide use of lime as a binder in various contexts of
application emerges from a series of artistic and archaeological evidence in the Apulia (Italy) …

Quicklime is an essential reducing agent in the steel smelting process and its calcination
from limestone is accompanied by considerable energy consumption. As a relatively …

This study examines limestone properties and calcination process to enhance product
quality. Limestone burning produces lime (CaO, calcium oxide) and carbon dioxide (CO2) …

In the frame of the HERACLES (HEritage Resilience Against CLimate Events on Site)
project, a set of cultural heritage sites was studied to improve their resilience against climate …

In the present work, the intensity variations of the Raman signal and associated background
intensities of calcareous materials as a function of their grain sizes has been investigated …
