Mining and quarrying. Mining is the process of extracting buried material below the earth surface. Quarrying refers to extracting materials directly from the surface. In mining and quarrying, water is used and gets polluted in a range of activities, including mineral processing, dust suppression, and slurry transport.

The quarrying technique consists of drilling and blasting to fragment the rock. A large number of charges are fired at one time, producing up to 20,000 tons of broken stone in one blast. The broken stone is crushed into smaller pieces that are separated into uniform classes by screening. Quarry, place where dimension stone or aggregate (sand ...

Extraction and processing. Raw materials employed in the manufacture of cement are extracted by quarrying in the case of hard rocks such as limestones, slates, and some shales, with the aid of blasting when necessary. Some deposits are mined by underground methods. Softer rocks such as chalk and clay can be dug directly by excavators.. The …

In general, marble deposits can be found in open quarries. There can be 95% in the form of open quarries and 5% in the form of mines or caves. Marble is found at the ground level or at high depths which adds up to the high cost of stone removal. In earlier times, marble extraction was mainly done using manual processed.
