- Abstract:
- The carbonate rocks outcropping in the area south of Florence can be useful for the production of binding materials. The aim of this paper is to characterize the rocks to be used for the production of cement and limes in the area south of Florence by means of chemical, mineralogical and petrographic studies and by defining their main physical properties. In particular, this study analyses rock samples from different outcroppings around the south of the province of Florence in the Greve in Chianti - Passo dei Pecorai area. Based on the collected data the rock samples coming from the Greve in Chianti area can be used for producing mainly eminently hydraulic lime.
