Limestone powders generated during the production of machine-made sands were widely used as supplementary cementitious material in making concrete, which affected concrete properties. In this paper limestone powders were added to prepare low-alkali planting cementitious material.
The value of limestone is in its ability to neutralize soil acidity. Limestone's properties differ considerably, and these differences influence the limestone's ability to neutralize soil acidity. Effectiveness depends on the purity of the material and how finely it is ground. Pure limestone has a calcium carbonate equivalence (CCE ...

Quantitative insight in the effect of these amendments on soil pH is limited, hampering their appropriate use. Until now, there is no comprehensive evaluation of the effects of soil amendments on soil acidity and yield, …
CHANGES IN SOIL QUALTITY IN LIMESTONE MINING 547 Nature Environment and Pollution Technology Vol. 16, No. 2, 2017 is the amount of water that the soil contains and expressed
In this paper, a life cycle assessment (LCA) model from 'cradle-to-gate' of one ton of aggregate was achieved to evaluate the environmental impact of limestone quarrying, by counting material and ...
Mining can cause significant environmental damage, with negative impacts on landscapes (Fig. 1), air, water and soil quality. Soil degradation is one of the most noticeable …
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate with the occasional presence of magnesium. Most limestone is biochemical in origin meaning the calcium carbonate in the stone originated from shelled oceanic creatures. Limestone can also be chemical in origin as is the case with travertine.
Environmental contamination and landscape alteration are well known adverse impacts caused by mines. However, the impact of mines on the weathering are less studied and considered minimal in nature. The destruction and disturbances caused by mines spread in wider area suggesting probable influence on the weathering. Thus, the …
A review on environmental impact assessment of limestone mining operations ... we report the results of study conducted on the soil quality in relation to limestone mining. Comparison of soil quality in mining area with that of unmined area shows that soil quality has degraded with respect to most of the parameters analysed during the present ...
Mining has played an important role in the development of Ghana. Like all industries, mining has both benefits and risks for the people living in communities where minerals are found. How these environmental and health impacts are managed by …
At the confluence of agriculture and mining, limestone waste emerges as a potential resource for enhancing soil fertility (Oliveira et al., 2014 ). When judiciously …
A study was conducted on the impact of limestone mining activity of cement industry on growth, physiological parameters and yield of redgram and black gram in areas ... the surface of soil ...
The impact of coal mining subsidence on the surface eco-environment can be characterized as the evolution of a complex system. The complexity and stochastic nature of the ecological background conditions (soil quality, vegetation distribution, and geological structure) and coal mining conditions (mining depth, seam thickness, and speed) make …
Through an integrated multidimensional case study, this research aims to (i) analyze the guidelines for Impact Assessments of Non-Coal Mining projects and recommend strategies for sustainable industry, and (ii) synthesise the impacts of limestone mining across key indicators like hydrology, public health, biodiversity, and …
Exchangeable Ca and Mg content were significantly higher in soils close (1 km) to the mining activity compared to soils in 1 km + zone. This could be cumulative …
It is very similar to the impact of mining. 2. Larger Environmental Damage Limestone quarrying as a process has its carbon footprint. The transport of limestone quarried leads to more environmental degradation. All uses of limestone have varying but some adverse impact on the environment.
Limestone, applied as a slurry, which is a mixture of minutely crushed limestone and water, helps to prevent sulfur dioxide from escaping through the plant's smokestack. The limestone traps the sulfur dioxide gas in the wet slurry with calcium and oxygen and makes the pollutant a removable solid waste.
Dust emanated from the limestone mining activity gets deposited on the soil surface over a period of time in the vicinity of the mining activity.
Controlled blasting in various limestone formations had fetched substantial and consistent revenue for the limestone and cement industries and tangible benefits in …
Highlights • has numerous far reaching impacts on soil and plant processes and function. • impacts on soils are positive such as increased …
The study assessed the impacts of small-scale mining activities on concentration and distribution of soil physicochemical properties and heavy metals. The soil samples were collected from 120 (50 ...
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of opencast nickel mining on soil chemical properties and, subsequently, its effect on the growth of two fast-growing tropical tree species, F. moluccana and A. saman, under greenhouse conditions.
