Serpentinite rocks testify to the ocean-floor metamorphism that took place and transformed
the original mineralogy and fabric of previous ultramafic rocks. Due to their tectonic and …

Serpentine is a versatile mineral family rich in Mg silicate with several polymorphic phases,
mainly antigorite and lizardite, all of them with similar chemical composition (Mg3Si2O5 …

This work is the first attempt to study the possibility of incorporating three different types of
Egyptian serpentine aggregates (antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile) with different …

Health risks are often overlooked when the consequences are not evident in the short term.
In restoration work, some activities can generate particles that may affect the health of …

Natural stones (limestones, granites, and marble) from mines located in northeastern Brazil
were investigated to discover their potential for use in civil construction. The natural stones …

Serpentinite are widespread rock types used worldwide as building material. Heavy metals
like Ni in both the serpentinite products and serpentinite mining wastes pose potential …

The nevado-filábride complex (NFC)(southern Spain) is well known for its widespread
mining and quarrying activities. Serpentinite and metabasite rocks are extracted, processed …

The flotation separation of pyrite (Py) from serpentine (Spt) was studied using xanthamonas
campestris (XC) as a novel Spt depressant. The adsorption of XC onto Spt and Py was …

Serpentinites are characterized by highly variable mineralogical, physical, and mechanical
properties. Serpentinites from Moeche (North Western Spain) have been studied to establish …

This paper presents a thorough study of the main features and the decay causes and
mechanisms of serpentinites both freshly quarried and after centuries exposure at the main …
