1. The influence of compositional variability of dimension stone residues on the properties of rustic porous ceramic tiles
Abstract This study analyzed how the compositional variability of dimension stone residues influences the characteristics of rustic porous ceramic tiles. The specimens were prepared by adding 20 wt% of dimension stone residue to the clay and sintered at 1000 °C for 1 h. The testing assays performed were physical properties and structural analysis through sc

2. MLA and optical microscopy as complementary techniques to the iron ore geometallurgical studies
Abstract Mineral liberation is an important variable to be considered in the iron ore geometallurgical studies, especially since it provides information leading to the understanding of the ore’s behaviour in the beneficiation process, mainly when harder ores are concerned. Nowadays, the professionals and researchers in the mineral industry have been using

3. Characterization of micaceous minerals occurring in phosphate ores in Brazil: emphasis on the interstratified phyllosilicates
Abstract Micaceous minerals were characterized in three phosphatic ores from mines in Western Minas Gerais State, Brazil, all having complex chemical and mineralogical compositions, with emphasis on interstratified phyllosilicates. Knowledge of the relationship between the physical and chemical characteristics of the phyllosilicates contributed to a better u

4. Characteristics and utilization prospects of red ceramic waste in lightweight aggregates: a systematic review
Abstract Red ceramic waste (RCW) is one of the main by-products generated by the production of ceramic materials. Its application in lightweight aggregates (LWAs) has not yet been tested. Thus, this review intends to evaluate the perspectives of using RCW in the manufacture of LWAs. The search was carried out in the ScienceDirect database. 47 articles were s

5. Ultrafine quartz flocculation: Part I. System characterization and variables selection
Abstract A characterization study was performed to verify the more relevant physicochemical properties for quartz flocculation with polyacrylamide, as well as to define which variables should be further investigated regarding this flocculation system. Polyacrylamide was evaluated through molecular weight, radius of gyration, and infrared spectrometry. A natu

6. Study of soils used with subgrade and sub-ballast in Brazilian railways
Abstract Brazil has an extremely limited railroad network compared to other developed and developing countries. There are projects to expand this mesh. Knowing that the cost of implementing a railroad is high, research for solutions that allow cost reduction is of great importance. But the parameters of the materials used in the subgrade and sub-ballast laye

7. Microbial activity and studies on excavated megalithic micaceous potsherds from Peninsular India
Abstract The abundantly available mica flakes were added in raw materials to manufacture pottery in Central Peninsular India during the early Iron Age (700-300 BCE) for storage and glittering. The micaceous potsherds from the excavated megalithic site of Nagpur were studied for their composition, manufacturing techniques, microstructural features, microbial

8. Evaluation of the use of silica-alumina refractory waste as a supplementary cementitious material
Abstract The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SMCs) is one of the three essential factors for the sustainability of the cement industry. To reduce CO2 emissions, several studies have introduced new methods for the utilization of industrial wastes such as the addition into cementitious materials. The objectives of this study were to chemically and

9. Characterization of sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) and its evaluation for use in alkali-activated slag mixtures
Abstract This work proposed to incorporate the sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) with a high content of organic matter (loss on ignition of 35.87%) in alkali-activated mixtures with blast furnace slag. After grinding SBA, replacement ratios of 10%, 20%, and 30% of the ground ash were used for the flowability evaluation. The mixtures containing 20% and 30% showed a

10. Geological - geotechnical characterization of different lithotypes in an underground mine
Abstract A mineralogical, geological and geotechnical characterization of several rock types (phyllite, dolomite, breccia and marl) from an underground mine site aimed, among other things, to identify its mineral composition and to provide parameters to support the understanding of rock mass behavior. For this purpose, it was possible to perform laboratory a

11. Utilization of ferronickel slag in hot mix asphalt
Abstract The growing concern in minimizing the disorderly disposal of waste in nature has been influencing measures that seek to give new environmentally sustainable and economically viable purposes for these materials. The use of steel slag aggregate in road paving emerges as an alternative for reducing the storage of this material in industrial yards, as w

12. Using static, kinetic and metal mobility procedures to evaluate possibilities of coal waste land disposal at Moatize Mine, Mozambique
Abstract Coal mine waste rocks produced during mining and beneficiation can affect the environment due to land degradation and acid mine drainage generation. However, proper characterization and treatment of mineral processing wastes creates options for safe disposal, enhancing the environmental performance. The aim of this study was to use static and kineti
