Limestone can have a range of textures, from fine-grained to coarse-grained, depending on factors such as the size and composition of sedimentary particles. Common textures include crystalline, clastic, granular, and massive, which influence the rock's appearance and physical characteristics.
Initially, the rock dusting standard in US coal mines was mandated that 65% incombustible content (IC) in non-return airways and 80% IC in return airways (Harris et al. 2010).When methane is present in any ventilating current, it requires adding an extra 1% of incombustible material per 0.1% methane for air in intakes and adding 0.4% …
1. Introduction and background1.1. Mine dust pollution and its environmental & health risks. As the world's resources continue to be exploited, mining activities are giving rise to increasing environmental damage and pollution, of which mine dust pollution is considered to be one of the biggest threats to environment and public health (Entwistle …

surface area of milled limestone particles typically increases with an increase in revolution speed for a prescribed grind-ing duration (Guzzo, Tino, and Santos 2015). An increase in the size of the drilling particles intensifies wear of the drill bit (Weichert 1991), with the angularity and concavity of
paction is a main cause of size 0–2.5 mm materials, whereas some fine particles are washed away due to the effect of water seepage, which is a main cause of weight loss. Non-Darcy seepage properties of the crushed lime-stone are strongly influenced by compaction and particle size distribution. In general, during the compaction, the
Limestone, sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate, usually in the form of calcite or aragonite. ... Their constituent grains range in size from 0.001 mm (0.00004 inch) to visible particles. In many cases, the grains are microscopic fragments of fossil animal shells. Britannica Quiz.

The size distribution of drilling particles is fully characterized to reveal the characteristic of particle fractions under different drilling parameters, and to study the …
Variation of mean size diameter (d 50) of limestone particles ground up to 240 min with different sizes of grinding balls (a) and revolution speeds (b).
Sedimentary limestone deposits can be extensive, covering hundreds of square miles, and can be relatively uniform in thickness and quality. There-fore, limestone quarries can be …

Beneficiation of a low grade siliceous mine waste limestone sample, from Jayantipuram lime-stone mine, Andhra Pradesh, India assaying 42.62% CaO and 19.07% SiO2 by flotation was studied.
depth reached 6 m, and the mine stopped production, caus-ing huge economic losses and severe social impact nearby (Li et al. 2019b). Water inrush not only has a very negative impact on mine production, but also causes subsidence and house cracking (Chen and Yang 2011; Li et al. 2019a; Li and Wang 2012; Tu et al. 2022; Zhao et al. 2018).
Based on overall impact of limestone mining in the area it is suggested that all stakeholders particularly the owners of mines and cement plants should give necessary attention to environmental ...

In the current research, isothermal experiments of kinetic analysis were performed at different temperatures (800–1050 °C) and particle sizes (885 to 10,763 μm) to investigate the calcination kinetics of high-purity limestone. Thermal analyses were carried out in a zirconia crucible, 1 cm in height, for different temperatures and particle sizes. …
2.1 Energy. Rock drilling, blasting, and comminution (crushing and grinding) consume a vast amount of energy in hard rock mines. As mentioned in Sect. 1, statistics from hard rock mines indicates that drilling and blasting consumes 2% and comminution does 53% of the total energy input in the whole production chain from mining to mineral …
Respirable coal mine dust represents a serious health hazard for miners. Monitoring methods are needed that enable fractionation of dust into its primary components, and that do so in real time. Near the production face, a simple capability to monitor the coal versus mineral dust fractions would be highly valuable for tracking …
The limestone with over 50% calcite particles of a size greater than 5 μm was defined as coarse-grained limestone, and the limestone with over 50% calcite …
Wood Smoke: The size of these particles varies from 0.05 to 1 micron, categorising them as submicron particles. Dust Mites: Measuring 10-25 microns, dust mites are considered fine particles. Mould Spores: With sizes between 3-30 microns, mould spores fall into the acceptable particle range.
Quartzite and limestone are non-foliated. The two main types of metamorphism are both related to heat within Earth: Regional metamorphism: Changes in enormous quantities of rock over a wide area caused by extreme pressure from overlying rock or compression caused by geologic processes. Deep burial exposes the rock to hot temperatures.

The exposure of mine workers to crystalline particles in the respirable size regime is a global problem in occupational health and safety at surface and underground mining operations [1,2,3,4,5].For inhaled particles, from which 50% can penetrate the larynx (i.e., thoracic particles, 10 μm) and especially those size regimes from which …
Respirable dust exposures still represent a serious occupational hazard for many coal miners. In the US, the available dust monitoring data suggest that concentrations of respirable dust and crystalline silica (i.e., quartz) in coal mines have generally been declining across all regions for the last few decades [].Nevertheless, health surveillance …
