Limestone mines use two types of blasting. Small explosive charges set along drilled lines free blocks of stone to be removed for construction. Large charges reduce whole areas of limestone to rubble, which is removed for use as crushed stone. The noise, dust, and impact from explosions can result in noise pollution and dust.

Solvent extraction. Once PLS is leached, it is sent to a solvent extraction plant to remove the copper. The PLS is mixed with an organic solvent that binds to the copper and chemically separates the copper from the rest of the liquid. Then, the copper-bearing liquid is combined with another acid to precipitate the copper from the organic …

Lime and silica are the primary qualities of cement while iron decreases the temperature of the reaction and gives the cement its characteristic grey colour. In the cement manufacturing process, limestone, shale and clay are ready, dried, crushed, blended and heated in cement ovens up to 1200° C–1450° C to produce the clinker.
