“…The decrease in strength observed in concrete when using marble dust is because, while it has a filling effect, it lacks cement's cementitious properties or pozzolanic properties [34][35][36]. Similar results are in agreement with previous study [9,14]. Conversely, the coarse aggregates increased replacement of LD slag led to a corresponding increase in strength observed at both testing ages.…”

“…IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1757-899X/1289/1/012075 2 Marble dust, a fine powder from crushed marble, is frequently used in building and artistic endeavours. Millions of tons of marble waste are created each year in India, where its high chemical content causes soil fertility to diminish, water and air pollution, and other problems [6][7][8][9]. This issue can be solved by making the building sector a potential consumer of marble waste.…”

“…The SEM images of marble dust were not even in shape and size and they noted that its usage enhanced the strength and thermal properties of concrete as with the increase in weight percentage of marble dust maximum value (11 MPa) of flexural strength was achieved at 50% weight replacement. Marco et al [9] evaluated the mechanical and physical properties of cement mortars using marble dust as a binder. They found that the mechanical properties decreased with the use of marble dust.…”

Nowadays, the development of infrastructure is in full swing, which exploits natural resources and causes environmental pollution. Furthermore, cement is the most essential commodity for construction material mainly concrete, and its production is rapidly increasing to fulfil the demand for construction. The cement production is regarded as the one of the key causes of CO2 emissions, which adversely affect the atmosphere by causing global warming. In addition to this, the ecosystem may suffer from marble quarrying and construction material processing. Nonetheless, waste marble can be used as a by-product if managed in accordance with regional, national, and international environmental laws. On the other hand, Currently, LD slag is disposed of in landfills, which exacerbates the scarcity of available land and contaminates groundwater through the leaching of heavy metals. The waste materials have the potential to be used in the development of infrastructure materials. The infrastructure development has aggravated the issue of rainwater runoff and flash flooding in rainy seasons because of inappropriate drainage. The elimination of sand in pervious concrete reduces its strength performance its practical applications are still limited. This study is aimed toward the permeability improvement of conventional pavement concrete by the implementation of pervious concrete and also to improve its strength characteristics. In this study, an attempt has to be made to replace the cement with marble dust up to a replacement level of 0% to 20% with an interval of 5%. Also, natural aggregate is replaced with Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag by 5%, 15%, 25%, and 35%. From the study, it is found that the use of marble dust and LD slag improves the strength properties, but reduces the permeation properties.

“…Subsequently, when these stones are prepared for use by processing, sawing, and shaping them, a huge amount of powder waste is produced, which causes a global environmental problem. Therefore, the recycling of waste marble powder (WMP) in the building sector for the manufacture of sustainable concrete as a replacement for cement has been the subject of several studies in the past decade [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. This trend of studies has grown to minimize final construction costs, since WMP is very cheap and could be available for free, as well as to reduce global pollution.…”

Currently, the costs of building materials, especially cement, are increasing. Waste marble powder (WMP) could be used as a cement replacement material to produce environmentally friendly concrete to help preserve resources and reduce environmental pollution. The study’s goals are (1) to evaluate the effects of using marble powder in place of cement in high-strength concrete (HSC) on the material’s mechanical properties and durability characteristics. (2) The study is expanded to assess the effect of using partial WMP on the shear behavior of HSC beams under static loads. Eight half-scale simply supported reinforced beams with and without WMP have been tested. Each beam’s cross-section was 120 × 200 mm, and each beam had a total length of 1000 mm. The ratios of the used WMP were 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% by weight, and two different stirrup ratios, 0% and 0.47%, were used. When applied to HSC beams with and without WMP, the shear strength provisions of two of the most used codes, such as the locally used Egyptian Code (ECP 207) and the internationally used American Concrete Institute’s (ACI-2019), were examined. Using the ABAQUS software, the experimental results were compared to the findings of the nonlinear finite element analysis. The results established that partial replacement of cement by WMP led to increases in the concrete’s compressive and tensile strengths of about 15% and 16%, respectively. When tested specimens were exposed to acid attack, there were slight losses in weight and compressive strength (1.25% to 2.47%) for both with and without the addition of WMP. Both the concrete with and without WMP showed the same level of water absorption. Additionally, WMP led to an enhancement in the shear capacities for all beams. Increasing the WMP ratio from 0% to 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% increased the shear capacity by about 13%, 20%, and 28%, respectively, for beams without stirrups, while for beams with stirrups, the shear capacity improved by 12%, 19%, and 25%, respectively. The enhancement in the beams’ shear capacities could be attributed to the advanced concrete matrix produced by WMP’s extremely small particle size.

“…For example, red mud is obtained from the aluminum extraction process in a proportion of 2.5–4 tons of red mug per ton of aluminum; copper slag is produced in a similar proportion in the copper obtaining process (approximately 2 tons/ton of copper) [ 22 ]. Quarries also yield a significant amount of mineral powder residues; for example, only in the Apuan Alps district, over 200,000 tons of marble dust are produced yearly, and similar values can be found for other mineral quarries, such as basalt stone [ 47 , 48 ].…”

Recent Developments in Inorganic Composites in Rotational Molding

Rotational molding allows for obtaining hollow parts with good aesthetics and properties, having as main drawbacks the lack of pressure and the long cycle times, which limit the range of materials. Different fillers have been introduced in rotomolding to obtain composite materials assessed. This review has shown that glass fibers or particles are the most common material among them, although carbon fibers or clays have also been studied. In general terms, 10% loadings provide an increase in mechanical properties; higher loadings usually lead to a decrease in processability or final properties. When the filler consists of a micro- or nano-material, such as clay or graphene, lower loadings are proposed, generally not exceeding 3%. The use of fillers of an inorganic nature to obtain composites has not been as explored as the incorporation of lignocellulosic materials and even less if referring to waste materials or side streams from industrial processes. So, there is a broad field for assessing the processing and properties of rotomolded composites containing inorganic waste materials, including the study of the relationship between the ratio of filler/reinforcement and the final properties and also their preprocessing (dry blending vs. melting compounding).
