Limestone of 'Međeđe': Nikšić as filler in various industries

“…From the deposit "Međeđe", 8 samples of limestone were taken, on which physical-chemical tests were performed, which give insight into the quality of this raw material as well as the most rational possibilities of its commercial application. The mentioned 8 samples of limestone from the deposit "Međeđe" were physically and chemically analyzed and based on the obtained results, the possibility of valorization of limestone from this deposit was assessed in accordance with standards (SRPS) in various industries [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…Limestone is mainly used in construction in Montenegro as a technical-construction and to some extent as an architectural-construction stone [17]. Given the growing use of limestone in the world, in various industries, both micronized and coarse material, the competent Ministries of Montenegro have begun to consider this issue [18,19].…”

“…The quality of limestone as a filler for various branches of industry is determined by a number of parameters: physical (whiteness, granular composition, oil and water absorption ...) and chemical content of individual elements or components. The values of physical parameters and the content of the mentioned components or elements are strictly defined by the standards that apply to individual industries [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. First of all, regarding the chemical composition of limestone, the most important is the content of the main component in limestone -CaO and CaCO3 content, as well as the content of accompanying and harmful components such as: MgO, CO2, SiO2, K2O, total S, Al2O3 and Fe2O3, LOI.…”
