The aim of this research was to develop a new eco-product to find a correct recovery of silicate sawing sludge by means of waste management according to European criteria. To reach this goal, a thermal eco-mortar for a macroporous plaster was develop...
The management of sawing sludge originated from cutting operations of ornamental stones represents a challenging task as a consequence of its peculiar composition that includes non-negligible amounts of heavy metals resulting from the wear and tear o...
This study explores the feasibility of utilizing granite sawing sludge (FC) as a precursor to produce alkali-activated materials (AAMs). To enhance the reactivity of the system, metakaolin (MK) was added and binary mixtures were synthetized. A multid...
The conversion of rough marble blocks into building products is environmentally intensive in terms of energy and water consumption and the generation of solid fragments and marble sludge (MS). This LCA study evaluates the environmental impact of two...
Marble has been a prominent natural stone exploited since ancient times, commonly employed as a building material and ornamental stone. However, the disposal of waste generated from marble extraction, particularly fine sludge, poses significant envir...
Washing Bay effluent contains several organic and inorganic pollutants that require effective treatment techniques. The new trend of utilizing plant-based coagulants for treating washing bay effluent can help overcome drawbacks associated with chemic...
This study evaluates the feasibility of stabilizing clay bricks with marble cutting waste (MCW). This waste is currently discarded in huge quantities as sludge resulting from the sawing of marble blocks to slabs and the processes of disposing of grin...
The granite sludge (GS) produced during block sawing can be exploited as alternative raw material in ceramic and concrete industries. Based on the case study of a Portuguese granite processing plant, this work analysed, by experimental tests and Envi...
Real-time monitoring of wire bow is critical for ensuring wafer quality and preventing wire breakage in diamond multi-wire sawing (MWS). However, the deployment physical sensors in industrial MWS environments is hindered by severe sludge contaminatio...
