CONT

Marble Slurry. A New Building Material. ... Marble slurry is generated as a by-product during cutting of marble. ... While marble blocks are cut by gang saws, water is used as a coolant. The blade thickness of the saws is about 5 mm and normally the blocks are cut in 20 mm thick sheets. Therefore, out of every 25 mm thickness of marble block, 5 mm are converted into powder while cutting. This powder flows along with the water as marble slurry.

OBS

Since the marble slurry imposes serious threats to the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment, research has been done to find useful utilizations of it, such as the incorporation of marble dust or slurry during the manufacturing of tiles, door panels, building bricks and in road making.
