“…Ornamental stones are natural stones of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic origins that can be cut into blocks and slabs and used for flooring, paving, cladding, funeral monuments, and statues due to the varieties of their colors in addition to their soundness and compactness. According to Gomes et al [ 1 ], ornamental stones are subdivided into two main groups: the granites group, which includes all igneous rocks composed of quartz and feldspar minerals, and the marbles group, which includes all carbonaceous rocks composed mainly of calcite and dolomite minerals (such as marble). Marble and granite are the most famous types, but other stones such as quartzite, which is a metamorphic rock composed entirely of quartz, are also included [ 1 ].…”

The aim of the present study is to link the thermal expansion, spectral reflectance, and physico-mechanical aspects of different types of commercial granitic rocks with their mineralogical and chemical composition. The granitic rock types were characterized using several analyses, including petrography, chemical, mineralogical, and thermo-gravimetrical analysis using XRF, XRD, and TG/DTG/DSC techniques. The rock types were subjected to several performance tests, such as tests of their thermal expansion, spectral reflectance, and physico-mechanical properties. The results revealed that quartz, albite, and potash feldspar with minor amounts of mica (biotite/muscovite/annite) are the main mineralogical constitutes, in addition to some alteration minerals, such as kaolinite, saussorite, and prehnite. The studied granitic rocks were classified as monzogranite/syenogranite of high K-calc-alkaline and peraluminous characters and are related to late- to post-collisional settings. The thermogravimetrical analysis revealed that the overall mass loss over the whole temperature range up to 978 °C did not exceed 3% of the initial weight for all studied rocks. The results of thermal expansion revealed that the maximum change in linear thermal expansion for all rock types did not exceed 0.015% of their initial lengths at an unusual air temperature of 50 °C. The spectral analysis revealed that iron and hydroxyl ions are the main spectral absorption features that appeared in the VIS-NIR and SWIR regions, in addition to the appearance of the common and distinctive absorption peaks of the main mineral composition. Furthermore, the spectral reflectance demonstrated that the granitic rock types of low iron oxide content achieved a high reflectivity percent in the VIS-NIR and SWIR spectral regions compared with those of high iron content. As a general trend, the granitic rock types of high iron content and/or lower quartz content exhibited a high performance regarding their physical and mechanical properties, such as water absorption, apparent porosity, bulk density, compressive strength, and abrasion resistance. The results of water absorption, density, strength, and abrasion resistance of the studied granitic rocks are in the range of 0.14–0.31%, 2582–2644 kg/m3, 77.85–222.75 MPa, and 26.27–55.91 Ha, respectively, conforming to the requirements of ornamental stones according to the ASTM standard.

“…After colored impurities are removed, granite waste can be used to produce architectural glass-ceramics in order to improve its added value. To explore the utilization routes, granite waste can be used as the substitute for feldspar minerals, marble processing abrasives [82,83], and soda lime glass raw materials [84]; and so on. Such lines of research favor the scalable and value-added utilization of granite waste.…”

Quarrying and processing of granite produce large amounts of waste residues. Besides being a loss of resources, improper disposal of these wastes results in pollution of the soil, water and air around the dumpsites. The main components of granite waste are quartz, feldspars and a small amount of biotite. Due to its hard and dense texture, high strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, granite waste may be recycled into building materials, composite materials and fine ceramics, effectively improving their mechanical properties and durability. By using the flotation process, high value-added products such as potash feldspar and albite may be retrieved from granite waste. Also, granite waste has the potential for application in soil remediation and sewage treatment. This review presents recent advances in granite waste reutilization, and points out the problems associated with its use, and the related countermeasures, indicating the scale of high value-added reutilization of granite waste.

“…Although Brazil occupies a prominent place in the world in the ornamental stone sector, the country is lacking in the research and development of this industry, despite the fact that nearly 30% of stone material is lost during processing [1][2][3][4]. In the specific case of Brazil and other South American countries, the low number of patents may indicate insufficient interest in the study area or a cultural dearth within local companies and universities in the deposit of documents, despite the high potential for product on the market (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)4).…”

“…In a similar study, researchers fabricated stone waste composites with low permeability, high dielectric constant, and high flexural strength, suggesting feasibility as a sustainable electrical insulator [19]. Another study used quartz, granite and marble waste as a raw material for glass production and succeeded and producing a material with properties similar to soda-lime glass [1].…”

The concept of a circular economy proposes that industrial waste be used as raw material for making new products to reduce the environmental impact and stimulate economic growth. Thus, many scientific studies and patents have aimed to take advantage of different waste compounds in the development of new composite materials. The goal of this study is to assess the potential for using marble and synthetic fibers for the development of new materials through the analysis of patent documents filed worldwide. We analyzed prospective documents in the Derwent Innovation Index database. A total of 129 documents related to the research area of interest was identified between 1958 and 2019. The construction sector had a higher total number of patents and active patents relative to the industrial sector with a focus on structural, antimicrobial, and covering applications. Japan, the United States, and South Korea were the countries that filed the most patents related to the research topic.
