This paper deals with thermal analyses, burning trials and reactivity tests on 15 carbonate
rocks, ie, pure and impure carbonates, mud-supported and grain-supported limestones …

Abstract Oil-Based Mud (OBM) cutting is a hazardous by-product generated during oil-well
drilling. Its chemical composition suggests that it might be suitable as a raw material in …

Based on the terminology of “aragonite seas” and “calcite seas”, whether different Mg
sources could affect the mineralogy of carbonate sediments at the same Mg/Ca ratio was …

This study evaluates the influence of chemical, mineralogical and petrographic features of
the Neoarchean limestone from the Ouplaas Mine (Griqualand West, South Africa) on its …

The thermal behavior of selected limestones from representative localities of the United Arab
Emirates is investigated for their suitability for soft-burnt lime production. The limestone …

The metacarbonate deposits in the southern Nigeria intercalated with calc-silicate gneiss,
intrusive granite and migmatite gneiss rocks are of Proterozoic age. The study focused on …

The petrographic characteristics of mud supported limestone samples from Egypt were
examined before and after calcination at 950° C for 0· 25, 0· 5, 1 and 2 h. X-ray diffraction …

The aim of this work is to study the effect of Egyptian limestone microstructure on the
activation energy required for the onset of its calcination. Limestone samples were …

The present research examines the influence of the petrographic features on the thermal
decomposition and burnability of three limestones, the main raw materials for Portland …

Limestone represents the main raw material for ordinary Portland cement clinker production.
In this study eight natural limestones from different geological environments were chosen to …
