The dried bricks were burnt at a temperature of 950 °C in a brick kiln for a period of 15 days. The burnt bricks were tested for water absorption, hardness, shape and size, soundness and compressive strength. Water absorption was assessed in terms of weight gain of dried bricks immersed in water for 24 h [9–11]. The pressure
Marble waste was sampled from Oman Marble, Al-Turki Enterprices L.L.C., Sohar Industrial Estate, Sohar, Sultanate of Oman. Marble waste slurry is produced as a result of sawing and polishing of marble for construction applications. Water is then removed from slurry at the factory and fine marble waste is dumped at the landfill sites. The authors
Marble and granite slurry cement bricks yield similar mechanical, in terms of compressive strength, and physical, in terms of density and absorption, properties. There is a positive effect of granite slurry on cement brick samples that reach its optimum at 10% slurry incorporation. Absorption is the major
Lime Render is a type of lightweight render that is applied onto traditional external walls and brick or cementboard in Australia. It differs from cement render because it needs to breathe and is more susceptible to absorbing moisture, making it ideal for external use where moisture protection is a high priority.
Marble and granite industry has grown significantly in the last decades with the privatization trend in the early 1990s, and the flourishing construction industry in Egypt. Accordingly, the amount of mining and processing waste has increased. Stone waste is generally a highly polluting waste due to both its highly alkaline nature, and its manufacturing and …

Fig. 2 Waste Generation during the Marble Production 3.1 Types of Marble Waste There are two types of marble waste: (i) Quarry waste This waste includes blocks of various sizes and shapes, undesirable trimming and shaping of mined out blocks before dispatch to processing units. There are two types of Quarry Waste as follows: a) Direct …
The dried bricks were burnt at a temperature of 950 °C in a brick kiln for a period of 15 days. The burnt bricks were tested for water absorption, hardness, shape and size, soundness and compressive strength. Water absorption was assessed in terms of weight gain of dried bricks immersed in water for 24 h [9,10,11].
In the current study, waste marble powder was utilized to produce lightweight fired clay bricks and in the treatment of flue gases. Marble waste powder used in clay bricks and flue gas treatment was collected from local marble processing plants, and its chemical composition was analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray …
Al Salami enjoys a fair market share in the segments of interlocking pavers, hydraulically pressed kerbstones and paving slabs. Al Salami has supplied to construction industry in Oman several of paving tiles, blocks and thousands of metres of kerbstones. Al Salami's building blocks have been widely accepted by the construction across Oman.
