Environmental Hazards of Limestone Mining

In humid climates, limestone dissolves quickly and is carried away by water. This creates caves which can become weak and collapse. Underground mining of limestone can cause a cascading environmental impact. Mining in the karst can lower the water table, which removes the support of rock that overlies water-filled caverns, which …

Effect of activated coal mining wastes on the properties of …

These findings reflect the greater fineness of the ACW than the OPC material. That circumstance had a direct effect on the consistency of blended cement mortars (Table 7), for which a water/binder ratio of 0.5 was used, pursuant to the standard in effect [18]. The inclusion of ACW lowered consistency by 6–10% in 10% blended …
