Abstract

Limestone rock over time has played an important role in the construction industry, agrochemicals, foundry, glass, chemical products, among others, due to its physicochemical characteristics and economic importance. In the Coohornical Mining Center Quarry, municipality of Distracción-La Guajira, limestones intercalated with shales outcrop, corresponding to the Lagunitas Formation of the Cogollo Group. The objectives of this research are to determine the parameters that generate the explosiveness of limestones in the calcination process, establish chemical characteristics and classify petrographically by means of cartographic, petrographic and geochemical techniques (X-ray fluorescence). This led to the conclusion that the explosiveness of the limestone rock in the Centro Minero Coohornical Quarry is a physical phenomenon linked to its density and permeability of water and air, due to the absorption of fluids (air and/or water) in the cooling process, since the fluid molecules trapped inside the rock expand faster than in solid rock when heated by fire; Texturally they correspond to mudstone, grainstone and wackstone, with presence of fossils, pellets and bioclasts; The geochemical results allowed to identify that the limestones are constituted by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with a range of 94.56wt - 98.56%wt, CaO with a range of 51.3%wt - 55.5%wt and SiO2 in a range of 2.60%wt - 2.90%wt; compared with the guidelines of Colombian Technical Standard (NTC) 5163, it was stipulated that its primary use is for the manufacture of cement and lime.
