Ocena potencjalu pozyskania zmikronizowanego kalcytu z odpadów z bia?ego marmuru

Abstract

Natural calcium carbonates have a great importance in the world's economy due to their numerous applications areas such as calcium carbonate in the paper and paint industries. The final calcite products have rigorous quality specifications which are currently difficult to meet for local producers in Turkey. Therefore, large quantities of high white marble wastes have been transported long distances inside the country to supply the different industrial plants for using calcite. Marble wastes, located in Afyon and Kutahya regions, Turkey's mid-west, are used generally for concrete and highway purposes. Evaluations of marble wastes are very important for the economic development of any country or region. This study aims at developing new perspective for evaluation of marble wastes as domestic calcite resources and serves as a guide for investment and decision making for the Turkey calcite industry. This paper presents applied research work to determining the product quality for evaluation as micronized calcite of marble wastes and gives an overview of the market situation for the regional producers. The aim of the work is to characterize four different marble wastes and to determine the potential for production of the required quality for the Turkey calcite market; - to control the quality of the products by application tests, including the measurement some tests. © 2020 J.J.
