The thermal degradation of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and linear low-density silane-crosslinked polyethylene (SXLPE) was studied. Kinetic evaluations were performed by model-free kinetic analysis and multivariate nonlinear regression. Apparent kinetic parameters for the overall degradation were determined.
Good soil needs to be maintained by more than just tilling and watering methods. The soil must also have the proper acid level, a good pH balance and enough nutrients in the soil to support long term growth. The soil also benefits from having aeration and the ability to retain water. One of the simplest, most natural and widely available substances that can accomplish this is limestone.
What Is Chemical Weathering? Rocks, soils, minerals, wood, and even artificial materials exposed to the elements of nature like air and water will undergo significant changes over a period of time both in morphology and in chemical composition and ultimately break down into smaller pieces by the processes of weathering.. When weathering occurs through chemical reactions that …
There was a trend toward more serious deterioration with increasing ITZ in the reference and limestone filler blended group after 12 months of exposure. The degradation of specimens made with slag was independent of the variation of ITZ content. Gypsum tended to precipitate in the ITZ under magnesium sulfate attack.
Limestone quarrying as a process has its carbon footprint. The transport of limestone quarried leads to more environmental degradation. All uses of limestone have varying but some adverse impact on the environment. Large rocks are blasted to extract limestone which leads to more particulate matter in the air.
Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemical decomposition caused by heat. The decomposition temperature of a substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes. The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition. If decomposition is sufficiently exothermic, a positive feedback …

Limestone was usually chosen as a cheap additive for roasting of lepidolite.43., 54., 55., 56. In a process patented by Mazza et al., 43 a mixture of lepidolite, limestone, and water was fed to roasting at 900 °C for 2 h. The calcine was thereafter immediately quenched to release lithium, resulting in a lithium extraction of ∼80%.
Vanadium−titanium magnetite (VTM) is an important raw material for ironmaking under the situation of increasingly demanding scarce resources. To further improve the metallurgical properties of pellets, and to satisfy the requirements of blast furnace slag basicity, finely ground dolomite and limestone have been added to the pellet. In this study, the effect of finely ground dolomite and ...
The persistence and degradation of rotenone and its primary degradation product 12aβ-hydroxyrotenone in soils were determined under standardized laboratory conditions in the dark at 20 or 10 °C and at 40% of water holding capacity. Degradation experiments were carried out on two types of soil collected in southern Italy, a silt clay loam (SCL) and a loamy soil (L). A kinetic model was ...
tunnels and underground excavations - tunnels and underground excavations - Tunneling techniques: Tunnels are generally grouped in four broad categories, depending on the material through which they pass: soft ground, consisting of soil and very weak rock; hard rock; soft rock, such as shale, chalk, and friable sandstone; and subaqueous. While these four broad types of ground condition require ...

The carbonation process dissolves calcite and releases calcium. CaCO3 + H2CO3 = Ca2+ + 2HCO3-The calcium is removed by water carrying it away (leaching). The process is accelerated, since the temperature of the area is high and water is plentiful. The quartz, if present in the limestone, will not break down because of its resistance to weathering.
Limestone is one familiar form of calcium carbonate. Acids in acid rain promote the dissolution of calcium carbonate by reacting with the carbonate anion. This produces a solution of bicarbonate. Because surface waters are in equilibrium with atmospheric carbon dioxide there …
Weathering creates underground caves and passages in limestone in addition to depressions and other unusual dips and grooves on the surface. Karst is landscape formed from the weathering of limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock created from the remains of dead sea creatures and is predominately made up of calcium carbonate.

The observations show that the collapse of underground limestone mines results from a progressive failure due to gradual weathering of the rockmass. The following stages can be considered for the limestone weathering and degradation process in underground mines: condensation of the water on the roof of the gallery, infiltration of water in the porous rock, migration of the air CO2 molecules in ...

Pavement tiles made of a micritic limestone were set on a residence building and shortly after its application signs of degradation were detected (efflorescences) on the tile surface.
Volume 141, 10 August 2015, ... The degree of size degradation of iron ores in the low-temperature reduction zone of a blast furnace can be evaluated according to the ISO 13930 ... The higher porosity in the fluxed pellets is due to the decomposition of limestone in the sintering process.
The blast furnace is still the dominant form of iron production, but over the years, direct reduction methods have increased due to a number of reasons. Overall, iron production methods have optimal requirements with respect to the feed materials especially iron ore. In this study, tests were carried out on Muko iron ore from Uganda to analyse its suitability to meet the feed requirements of ...
Karst is an area of land made up of limestone.Limestone, also known as chalk or calcium carbonate, is a soft rock that dissolves in water. As rainwater seeps into the rock, it slowly erodes. Karst landscapes can be worn away from the top or dissolved from a weak point inside the rock.
Controlling the combustion of coal and the thermal degradation of limestone, the two main thermo-chemical processes that occur inside a cement calciner, is of significant importance, since these processes have a direct influence on the cement quality, pollutant formation and overall energy efficiency of the cement manufacturing process.
The enormous crater started off as just a small gully. The process began in the 1960s when the forest was cleared exposing the ground to solar radiation during summer. As trees that shaded the frozen soil were removed, the sun began warming the ground causing permafrost degradation.
