Marble Dust Density

Luster of marble is dull to pearly to subvitreous.

Marble dust density.

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals most commonly calcite or dolomite marble is typically not foliated although there are exceptions in geology the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone. Marble dust is a primary ingredient in acrylic gesso a surface primer for canvases and other surfaces intended for painting. The hardness of marble is 3 4 whereas its compressive strength is 115 00 n mm 2. Marble stone industry generates both solid wastes and stone slurry.

The marble dust powder was added in m20 grade of concrete at 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 with partial replacement by weight of cement. The effect of marble dust weight percentage on the density of ldpe composites. Download high res image 203kb download. The density increases as the wt of marble dust increases and may be attributed to the fact that ldpe has a lower density compared to marble dust density.

Marble dust is sold in bags weighing about one kilogram depending on the distributor and usually retails for 5 to 6 per bag. This paper focus on the utilization of waste of marble dust powder in concrete and enhancement of strength of concrete more economically. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered.
