The Present study investigates the carbon sequestration potential and biodiesel production ability of a microalga isolated from a marble mining site. The microalgal isolates were grown in BG-11 medium supplemented with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as a carbon source. The growth behavior of the...

The importance of the mining activities, the driving force of industrialization has been realized every passing day. Mining products have been using functionally within energy, agriculture and manufacturing as inputs in daily life and they also symbolize countries economic power. Turkey is a...

This paper presents an analysis of the main environmental impact factors (noise, vibration, fumes, dust, vehicle traffic) associated with marble quarrying and processing in the Orosei industrial area and their effects. Solutions are also proposed to prevent, mitigate and, where possible,...

Pressure induced variations of the pore geometry werestudied by means of complex electrical dispersionmeasurements on natural marble (97% calcite, 3%quartz) and synthetic calcite samples (95% calcite,5% quartz; Siddiqi et al., 1997). Hydrostatic (up to 160 MPa) pressures were used toexamine the...
