Characteristic And Potential Of Perlis Carbonate Rock In The Downstream Industries

Carbonate rocks from Chuping, Perlis, Malaysia was analysed for their prospective application in the downstream industries such as glass, cement, agriculture, construction, and steelmaking. The composition chemical examinations of carbonate rocks reveal that greater than 90 percent of the rocks'...
