Interesting statistics of value of
waste Granite
Assuming 20 % of this waste is put to use in every year, the quantity there off 2.28m cbm
Labour component involved (by taking 30% of the value) Rs. 684 crores

Limestone Slabs contd..
Flaggy limestone mainly constitutes
Calcium Carbonate ranging between 36% and 50 %
SiO2 ranging from 7 % to 24%.
Due to its perfect cleavage, it is easy to extract slabs over a
thickness of 20 mm to 50 mm.
Used for
Flooring
Wall construction
Roofing.
There are number of stone polishing industries developed
basing on these flaggy Limestone in Andhra Pradesh.

Dolomite
M/s. Hindustan Zinc Ltd., have operated lead mines in
Agnigundala in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh.
Lead deposit occurs in association with dolomite of
Palnadu series of Kurnool sub.group.
Lead concentrate was produced by crushing the host rock.
The Dolomitic powder has piled up at the mine site as
waste tailings.
Useful for steel flexing by way of mixing with high-grade
dolomitic powder.
Detailed study of these reserves is worthy.

Tailings Derived Out Of Gold
Mining
The age-old mining for gold in Kolar Gold Fields
have produced huge tailings, which are seen
around Kolar Gold Fields.
The total quantity estimated is 50 million tonnes.
It also contains a little gold concentrate.
Apart from the gold concentrate if these tailings
are chemically analyzed, the same can be put to
use for ceramic tile making.

Tailings Derived Out Of Gold
Mining contd..
By substituting the required mineralogical
compositions for making ceramic tile mud, these
reserves can be best utilized.
It is a deserving Research Project. Also it can be
used as reconstituted stone with a ceramic binder
or resin binder or a cement binder. Presently this
technique is in use at Europe as well as in Japan
and Taiwan
