About 7% of the world's energy is used to extract, handle and process raw resources (Beccali et al. 2010).The construction industry uses 40% of the natural resources extracted from the earth's crust and generates 35% of the solid waste globally (Rosado et al. 2017).Haphazard mining of the river sand and other natural aggregates poses a danger to natural resources.

Unsustainable sand mining transforms the structure of rivers. By removing more than the river can naturally replace with the sediment it carries downstream, sand mining carves a deeper, narrower bed. This lowers the water level, speeds up flow and erodes banks - reducing the watershed's capacity to absorb excess water during floods.

While simple stacking it on the shore and allowing rain water to pass over it, washes out the chloride content in many cases, such a practise requires large pads of sand to be prepared and kept in place for more than a year so that nature plays out its effect over the sand and thereby reduces the chloride content by rain water washing.

There are six main stages of cement manufacturing process. Stage 1, Raw Material Extraction/Quarry, The raw cement ingredients needed for cement production are limestone (calcium), sand and clay (silicon, aluminum, iron), shale, fly ash, mill scale and bauxite. The ore rocks are quarried and crushed to smaller pieces of about 6 inches.

The Manufacturing Process Rocks or quarry stones are blasted and subjected to a series of crushing cycles to reduce the particles to the size of naturally occurring sand. The produced sand is then sieved and washed to remove fine particles and impurities, and tested for various quality aspects before it is deemed fit as a construction aggregate.

Cement Manufacturing Process. 2021-10-15. Summary: In brief, cement production has the following 7 steps: crushing and pre-homogenization, raw meal preparation, homogenization of raw meal, preheating decomposition, firing of cement clinker, cement grinding and cement package. Cement is a powdery hydraulic inorganic cementing material.

Heap leach mining is an industrial hydrometallurgical process, where the metal contained in an ore body is extracted by dissolution. The target mineral is leached with an aqueous solution whereby the mineral is dissolved into what is called a "pregnant" solution which, is then captured and later recovered downstream in the processing line.

To test for clay, water is placed in a transparent jar and with a proportional quantity of sand. The water-sand mixture is then shaken vigorously and allowed to settle. A distinct layer will form atop the sand if the clay is present. To detect salt: The best way to detect salt in the sand is by actually tasting a sample.
