“…Researchers have attempted to use marble waste particulates in paver blocks [ 19 ], soil stabilization [ 11 , 20 ], cement-based adhesive mortar [ 21 ], and as a replacement of conventional natural aggregates in concrete [ 4 , 8 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Attempts have also been made to use marble waste for manufacturing cementitious roofing tiles [ 26 ], preparing polymer concrete with unsaturated pre-accelerated polyester resin [ 27 ], a cement-based composite material with expanded perlite and tragacanth (plant resin) [ 28 ], composite bricks [ 2 , 6 , 29 ], artificial stones, unsaturated polyester resin, and epoxy resin as binders [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Marble waste is generated by marble processing units in large quantities and dumped onto open land areas. This creates environmental problems by contaminating soil, water, and air with adverse health effects on all the living organisms. In this work, we report on understanding the use of calcium-rich marble waste particulates (MPs) as economic reinforcement in recyclable polypropylene (PP) to prepare sustainable composites via the injection molding method. The process was optimized to make lightweight and high-strength thermally insulated sustainable composites. Physicochemical, mineralogical, and microscopic characterization of the processed marble waste particulates were carried out in detail. Composite samples were subsequently prepared via the injection molding technique with different filler concentrations (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%) on weight fraction at temperatures of 160, 180, and 200 °C. Detailed analysis of the mechanical and thermal properties of the fabricated composites was carried out. The composites showed a density varying from 0.96 to 1.27 g/cm3, while the water absorption capacity was very low at 0.006%–0.034%. Marble waste particulates were found to considerably increase the tensile, as well as flexural, strength of the sustainable composites, which varied from 22.06 to 30.65 MPa and 43.27 to 58.11MPa, respectively, for the molding temperature of 160 °C. The impact strength of the sustainable composites was found to surge with the increment in filler concentration, and the maximum impact strength was recorded as 1.66 kJ/m2with 20% particulates reinforcement at a molding temperature of 200 °C. The thermal conductivity of the particulates-reinforced sustainable composites was as low as 0.23 Wm−1K−1 at a 200 °C molding temperature with 20% and 40% filler concentrations, and the maximum thermal conductivity was 0.48 Wm−1K−1 at a 160 °C molding temperature with 80% filler concentration. Our findings have shown a technically feasible option for manufacturing a lightweight composite with better mechanical and thermal properties using marble waste particulates as a potential civil infrastructural material.

This study provides an overview of calcium rich industrial wastes usage in construction materials, their properties and different applications through marble waste and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum. Large quantities of industrial wastes are stockpiled and haphazardly disposed in increasing amounts causing serious environmental concerns. The extensive use of marble and gypsum products is increasing in construction industry and limited amount of natural sources are available, which requires alternative sources of calcium-rich raw materials. The aim of this study is to explore the recycling opportunities for calcium-rich industrial wastes which have good technical properties and can be used as raw materials for civil infrastructure. Utilization of these industrial wastes, leads to increase economical efficiency and it takes a positive step towards the conservation of natural materials, resource recovery and protecting the environment. The findings of the previous work done by different researchers affirm the need of further detailed scientific research for the effective utilization of marble waste and FGD gypsum. As per the present study, approximately 22 million tons of marble waste and 20 million tons of FGD gypsum are expected to be generated by the year 2040 in India. The results of physico-chemical analysis indicated that marble waste and FGD gypsum has potential as raw material for civil infrastructure. This research review focuses on the transformation of marble waste and FGD gypsum towards sustainable production of construction materials, work done so far, current best practices of its utilization and future possibilities.

“…[8]. The quality of the brick is highly dependent on the properties and composition of the raw materials, the production procedure, the firing method, and the temperature and time [9][10][11] The sintering process in clay bricks increases the strength of bricks. Sintering is the binding mechanism of clay particles and it can only be achieved under the influence of heat [12].…”

Porous clay bricks produced by adding 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of Basalt Cutting Waste (BCW) were manufactured by semi-dry pressing process. BCW (Karacadağ, Diyarbakir, Turkey) was added to brick raw material as an additive in order to increase porosity and strength. The chemical composition and thermal behaviors of raw materials were investigated and SEM analysis was performed. Brick mixes containing different proportions of BCW were formed and then fired at 900 and 1000° C for two hours. Porosity, water absorption, compressive strength, thermal conductivity and microstructure of the samples were examined. It was observed that the porosity ratios were increased by up to 34% with the addition of BCW, however, compressive strength (at least 28 MPa) decreased. However, the compressive strength was found to be higher than the required standards. The thermal conductivity of samples with the addition of 20% BCW decreased from 0.98 up to 0.72 W / mK compared to the reference sample, which also corresponds to a reduction of 26.5% in proportion to the reference sample along with the increase in porosity. The increase in firing temperature also affected the mechanical and physical properties of the samples. In conclusion, this study revealed that the brick samples produced could be evaluated and used as insulating materials by adding BCW to building materials in construction applications.
