Limestone quarry
The limestone used in cement manufacture generally requires a fragmentation with a higher percentage of fine material, in order to achieve maximum productivity in the treatment plant. In the case of limestone for the manufacture of aggregates, the aim is to minimise the amount of fine and over-sized materials using special blasting techniques ...

The size distribution of fragmented rocks depends on not only the blasting standard but also the mechanical properties, joint system and crack density of rock mass. As, especially, the cracks in the rock mass are heavily developed at the limestone quarries in Japan, the joints and/or cracks in the rock mass have big impacts on the blasting effects such as the size of fragmented rocks.

Fines/dust generation and dispersion are influenced by blast design parameters and execution (Bhandari et al, 2004). The fine material is assumed to originate from a cylindrical crushed zone around the blast hole, within which particles are generated by the crushing of the rock due to comprehensive-shear failure (Kanchibotla et al, 1999).
