Description
Summary:Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the chemical composition of Greek Naxos emery, and reuse of Naxos emery in the light of new environmental applications discovered. Its chemical composition will help us to propose alternative ways of exploiting and using it. Emery was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and it was revealed that Greek emery elemental analysis showed that it consists of Oxygen, Aluminum, Silica, Carbon, Calcium and less Antimonium and Iron. Antimonium is the key element for Greek – Naxos emery. The three main components are Quartz, Diasporite and Hematite. By reusing emery through new innovative environmental applications, we can achieve sustainable management and environmental integration.
