Reusing of stone waste in various industrial activities

In recent years, large amounts of stone waste have been generated in natural and artificial stone industry with significant environmental impacts. To solve the problems, stone waste in different forms could be used in different industrial activities in particular construction industry and other activities such as paper, ceramics industry (faience), paints, plastics and polymers,glass. rubber, siderurgy, sugar, pharmaceutics, textiles or in articles such as soaps or candles.Further it could be applied as agriculture soil corrective,acid water treatment and dumpsites sealing . This paper reveals an overview of current solutions of reducing environmental and economical disadvantages of this kind of by-product.
