Differences in the microbial community composition were not only reported for different aggregate size fractions, but also for the aggregate interior versus the outside, indicating that specific bacterial taxa have habitat preferences that are linked to the morphological, chemical and physical properties of the interior and exterior interfaces ...

Quarry by-products (QB), usually <1/4 in. (6 mm) in size, are the residual deposits from the production of required grades of aggregate. This paper provides findings of a detailed laboratory study with the objective of characterizing the engineering properties of QB materials produced in the primary, secondary, and tertiary aggregate production stages …

Apart from use in cement plants, in other countries, for example England, dedicated MBM incinerators are used. The feeding rates of MBM in cement kilns vary from country to country, in Spain the limit is 15 percent of the energy needed in the kilns (Conesa et al., 2005). However, the limit in the feed rate of MBM is due to the effects of chlorides.
