Rock quarry dust or quarry dust is produced as solid wastes during crushing of rocks to obtain aggregates. This waste product is left in huge heaps in the neighborhood of the quarry causing serious space problems and health hazards. Further, this waste disposal is another problem faced by the industry. Geotechnical …
This reveals that quarry dust is a best cheapest option to reduce the swelling of black cotton soils in place of lime which is also costlier. 2. The addition of 9% lime and 24% quarry dust alone to black cotton soil reduces the liquid limit by 20 and 30%, respectively, and decreases the plasticity index by 45 and 37%, respectively.
Quarry dust is a waste obtained during quarrying process. It has very recently gained good attention to be used as an effective filler material instead of fine aggregate. Also, the use of quarry dust as the fine aggregate decreases the cost of concrete production in terms of the partial replacement for natural river sand.
Quarry dust was used in increments of 25% to a maximum of 75% substitution, where nickel slag was used as the remaining proportion of fine aggregate. All the combinations of quarry dust and nickel slag were found to be compliant with AS 2758.1 and they showed notably better grading than sand.
Quarry dust is a waste from the crushing unit which accounts 25%-30% of the final product from stone crushing unit and a reason to cause environmental pollution. Quarry dust can be used as an admixture in concrete efficiently to lessen its impact on environment and human. It can also be used as partial replacement of cement in concrete.
In the whole, quarry dust block is cheaper to make than the sandcrete block. And the most significant factor for the difference in their cost implication is the great difference in the cost of their basic material (i.e. sand and quarry dust). The cost of quarry dust is less than 50% of the cost of river sharp sand material.
