“…When analysing the SEM micrographs it is possible to observe an irregular characteristic aspect of the surfaces. This is reported by other studies regarding epoxy composites with high % mineral fillers [38]. Additionally, no noteworthy voids or other changes were observed for samples SE_70 as well for as samples containing the antimicrobial additives (Fig.…”

“…The residue was left in an over at the temperature of 70 C for 24 hours to remove its humidity, so that the resin curing process and particle adhesion between granite and epoxy resin could be improved. 20 Based on the three grain sizes (coarse, medium and fine), there were proposed ten different mixtures of these particles, based on the Simplex-centroid Model. The objective of this step was to identify the mixtures with the highest dry apparent density.…”

The incorporation of ornamental stones residues to a polymer resin to produce artificial stone is an alternative to reducing the environmental impacts of inadequate waste disposal; it also represents a technically viable method. The objective of study was to develop an artificial granitic stone (AGS) using 85% in mass of granite agglutinated by 15% epoxy resin, through a vacuum, vibration and compression process. The artificial stone presented superior properties when compared with the natural granite, it had satisfactory mechanical and physical properties, resistant to temperature oscillations, to impact and wear, therefore suitable for applications for flooring subject to instantaneous tension and high-traffic.

In this study, waste silica from Alborz silica mineral processing factory was recycled as raw material for the production of a novel artificial stone to be used in civil construction. The size of the waste materials of this plant is less than 100 microns. Waste silica powder was mixed with unsaturated polymer resins as a binder. Under pressure, vibration and vacuum conditions, artificial stone with high compressive strength of 100 MPa, the tensile strength of 37 MPa and flexural strength of 98 MPa was produced within 15 min. Furthermore, in all of the produced artificial stones, due to the usage of resin, the flexural strength is higher than the tensile strength whereas, in natural stones, tensile strength is more than flexural strength. Moreover, using bentonite made a positive effect on the strength and quality of the stone, whereas kaolin declined the quality and the resistance of the artificial stone. Besides, the produced artificial stone has a lower specific gravity (2.14 g/cm 3) and water absorption (0.06 g) than natural stone, which is one of the most prominent advantages of artificial stone. What's more, low corrosion and were obtained against diluted sulfuric acid (0.0097 g) and hydrochloric acid (0.0313 g). Besides, due to the presence of impurities in the waste materials of Alborz silica factory, the produced artificial stones are brown. To reach the desired color, there are several metal oxides which could be added to the combination.
