Aggregates for the Attica Basin (Greece). Utilization of wastes from bauxite mines of Parnassus-Giona-Elikon-region
Abstract About 12 million tons of crushed aggregates are used every year in the greater Athens area (Basin of Attica). These materials consist mainly of limestone and their production, at the beginning of 1980, was from 34 quarries. During recent years a situation of uncertainty has prevailed over the future of the quarries. This problem has been studied with the intention of establishing a definite and long-term solution, capable of securing the supply to the greater Athens area of the required quantities of aggregates. Among the solutions which were proposed for study and research, one was considered to have priority: utilization of waste rocks from the bauxite mines of the well known bauxitic zone of Parnassus-Giona-Elikon, situated 100–220 km W-NW of Athens. Large quantities of such waste (6–7 million tons/year) come from surface mining of bauxite deposits. They consist of limestones suitable for the production of aggregates. The results of the quantitative evaluation of the waste, the geographical distribution and the exploitation parameters are presented in this paper.
