“…These observations are well consistent with the findings of Tozsin et al [29] who emphasised that the pH of soils containing grounded MW rapidly increased from 4.71 to P6.0 over an incubation period of 75 days while the pH of control samples was relatively constant (4.71 ± 0.18) at the same period. They also reported that increase in pH was faster in samples containing larger MW additions than those with smaller additions.…”

“…Similar results were also obtained by Topçu et al [28] who reported that the use of MW (up to 200 kg/m 3 ) decreases the porosity of self-compacting concrete by increasing its short and long term strength. Tozsin et al [29] investigated the neutralization potential of MW for acid soil and they showed that MW could be used as an acid-neutralization material.…”

“…Improvement of weak soil by using various industrial by-products is a well-established practice worldwide. Several studies have successfully shown the significance of using different industrial by-products like marble dust [22,23], glass dust, blast furnace slag [24,25], rice husk ash [26], sugar cane waste, fly ash [27,28], coal ash [29], xanthan gum [30], etc., for soil improvement. As phase-2 of this research, the possibility of stabilization of leachate contaminated cohesive soils (CL-dyeing, CL-tannery, CH-dyeing and CH-tannery) using marble dust and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) was explored.…”

The unchecked and unnoticed disposal of industrial leachates is a common malpractice in developing countries. Untreated effluents from industries drastically deteriorate the soil, altering nearly all of its characteristics. An increase in urbanization has led to construction on these deteriorated lands. In this study, the chemical impact of two industrial effluents, dyeing (acidic) and tannery (basic), is studied on two cohesive soils, i.e., high plastic clay (CH) and low plastic clay (CL). Properties such as liquid limit, plasticity index, specific gravity, maximum dry density, unconfined compressive strength, swell potential, swell pressure, and compression indices decrease with effluent contamination, with the exception of the basic effluent, for which the trend changes after a certain percentage. This study also examines the time variation of properties at different effluent percentages, finding that unconfined compressive strength of both soils increases with time upon dyeing (acidic) contamination and decreases with tannery (basic). The stabilizing effect of two industrial by-products, i.e., marble dust and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have been evaluated. Unlike their proven positive effect on uncontaminated soils, these industrial by-products did not show any significant stabilization effect on leachate-contaminated cohesive soils, thereby emphasizing the need to utilize special remediation measures for effluent treated soils.

“…Various researchers have tested the use of dimension stone wastes for manufacturing ceramic products (Taguchi et al, 2014;Reis et al, 2015;Prado et al, 2012), concrete (Bacarji et al, 2013), vitreous material (Scarinci et al, 2000), and for treatment of acid mine drainage (Barros et al, 2009). Marble dust was also tested as corrective of natural soil acidity (Tozsin et al, 2014(Tozsin et al, , 2015Raymundo et al, 2013), in place of the lime (CaO) that is traditionally used for. The liming material reacts with carbon dioxide and water to yield HCO 3 , which raises the pH of soils and removes the H + and Al 3+ from the solution (Safari and Bidhendi, 2007).…”

Dimension stones are worldwide used as building and finishing material, reason why the environmental problems inherent to this productive sector became relevant in various countries. One of these problems is the production of large amounts of wastes during the sawing of rocky blocks and polishing of plates. The waste generated by cutting marble with diamond wire consists of fine particles of calcium and magnesium carbonate dispersed in water. This mud has basic character, and it is destined to drying beds or open pit deposits. In parallel, many production processes generate hazardous acidic effluents, which disposal is a serious and global problem. The pH of these solutions must be neutralized or, at least, raised to levels that are considered safe by environmental regulations. In this work, a strong acid solution was treated with varying amounts of marble waste coming from the dimension stone industry. The treatment generated secondary solid and liquid phases that were analyzed to determine the feasibility of their disposal in landfills. The waste raised the pH of the acid solution from near 1.0 to values between 5.0 and 6.0, which are acceptable levels for non-dangerous effluents. Besides that, loss of up to 50% in mass occurred, diminishing the amount of the primary solid waste. By the other hand, the levels of total dissolved solids (TDS), Cu, chlorides and nitrates on the liquid phase of the effluent remained higher than that allowed by environmental legislation for discharge into water bodies. Nevertheless, their characteristics correspond to non-hazardous and non-inert wastes, which, after dried, can be discarded in ordinary waste landfills.
