Quarrying limestone destroys the shells and skeletons of marine organisms that formed the limestone. Quarrying limestone releases dust, and lorries release carbon dioxide from burning diesel fuel. Quarrying limestone provides building materials, employment and new road links. Quarrying limestone removes ores from the ground. (2) (Total 7 marks) Q6.
54,000 Btu per ton for a plant producing fine agricultural limestone as well as grade stone. The average for the 20 plants was 33,500 Btu per ton. 1 Very few studies similar to the NSA report have been generated since that time. Table 9-1.

Once limestone face is exposed drilling/cutting the limestone begins. The saw usually has diamond in it to make it sharper; The limestone blocks are then taken away to a factory, usually a concrete factory. In a concrete factory the limestone is put in a rotary kiln where hot air and limestone is pumped in and 'lime' is produced as well as CO2.

Two general phases of granite production exist: quarrying and processing. Each of these phases is described below. 2.2 Granite Quarrying Operations Extraction (more commonly referred to as quarrying) consists of removing blocks or pieces of stone from an identified and unearthed geologic deposit. Differences in the particular quarrying
limestone quality is determined based on the desirable oxides of calcium, silica, aluminum, and iron i.e. CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 [1]. Limestone also contains some undesirable oxides like MgO, SO3, K2O, Na2O, and P2O5, etc. The raw mix for the cement plan is dependent upon the quality of limestone mined at a specific period.
