Chrysotile is the most common type of asbestos in building materials. The most useful characteristics of chrysotile fibers are high tensile strength and resistance to extreme temperatures. The mineral has been widely used in fireproofing and as a binder. Its strong, flexible fibers have been woven into fireproof cloth. Chrysotile is also chemically resistant and has been used to make ...

A comprehensive study of the asbestos mining and milling industry of Quebec was undertaken in 1966 and has been the subject of several publiions on mortality, roentgenographic changes, pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms. The present report brings all findings together and discusses their impliions for control. The population studied was the 28 000 workers, mostly men, employed...
The asbestos cement industry is singled out as by far the largest current global user of chrysotile fibers. Main appliions include the production of corrugated sheets, flat sheets and building boards, slates, molded goods including lowpressure pipes, and highpressure water pipes. Chrysotile is also used, in much smaller quantities, in the manufacturing of friction products, gaskets and ...
Asbestos mining and milling in Brazil covers three time periods: (a) from 1940 to 1967 in the Sa˜o Fe´lix mine (State of Bahia, Northeast Region), where no measurements of exposure and/or control of exposure were operational and tremolite was found in association with chrysotile (n=538);11 (b) from 1967 to 1976 in the Canabrava mine (State of Goia´s, Central Region) where no evidence of ...

The typical process for refining raw chrysotile asbestos ore involves two steps: milling (fiber extraction) and sieving (fiber sizing) Dry milling operations are the most widely used and consist ...
The effects of longterm exposure to very small amounts of chrysotile asbestos are controversial. To examine this problem, the lung asbestos content from 7 longterm (25 yr and greater) residents of Thetford Mines, Quebec, who were never employed in the chrysotile mining and milling industry, was analyzed. Thetford Mines is a chrysotile mining town with a demonstrated ambient atmospheric ...
Mechanical milling is commonly used to produce short chrysotile asbestos for experimental purposes. Such manipulation also decreases fiber crystallinity, alters SiO and MgO interlayer bonding, induces coordination changes in the brucite layer, diminishes the ability of fiber to reduce specific free radicals and physisorb organic molecules, and decreases hemolytic potency and antagonist ...
Currently, the human activities resulting in potential chrysotile exposure can be divided into broad egories: (a) mining and milling, (b) processing of asbestos into products (such as friction materials, cement pipe and sheet, gaskets and seals, paper and textiles), (c) construction and repair activities, and (d) transportation and, especially, disposal of chrysotilecontaining waste ...
The socalled highenergy milling (HEM) has recently been demonstrated to be capable of ensuring amorphization of asbestoscontaining waste (ACW) [40,41]. To date, studies concerning the mechanochemical treatment of asbestos have been generally focused on chrysotile or chrysotile containing ACMs, being the only asbestos mineral still used worldwide. Such studies were not related to the ...
Mechanochemical conversion of chrysotile asbestos . Ball milling equipment was originally used for particles size reduction while during the last decades the high energy grinding devices (with obviously higher power per mill unit capacity than that of the traditional roller ball mill) such as stirring mill, vibration mill, and planetary ball mill has extended to the mechanochemical process ...
We present a conceptual model in which air enters the steep flanks of the chrysotile milling waste heap, into which CO 2 reacts with Mgrich minerals, stripping CO 2 from air by exothermic mineral carbonation reactions. Considering the surface area of summer and winter venting areas, flow rates, and concentration of CO 2 in warm air vents, we estimate that the Black Lake mine heap passively ...
AsbestosContaining Waste (ACW) in the form of a fragment from an asbestoscement board was subjected to highenergy milling in a planetary mill at a constant rotational speed of 650 rpm and for variable milling times: 1, 2, and 3 h. The initial and the milled materials were subjected to infrared spectroscopic examination to identify the asbestos variety and to evaluate changes in the ...
· · Exposure to asbestos fibers has been extensively studied in milling, mining of asbestos fibers, and in industries manufacturing asbestos—cement sheets, pipes, etc. However, very few studies have been reported in asbestos textiles, brake lining workers, and insulation products. In the present investigation, chrysotile exposure monitoring was carried out in a small thermal insulating .
· Objective This study was conducted to assess the relationship of mortality from lung cancer and other selected causes to asbestos exposure levels. Methods A cohort of 1539 male workers from a chrysotile mine in China was followed for 26 years. Data on vital status, occupation and smoking were collected from the mine records and individual contacts.

An investigation on the ffects of milling on diameters and lengths of fibrous glass and chrysotile asbestos was performed. A wool type fibrous glass and chrysotile asbestos were ball milled, one at a time, for selected periods of time. After each milling time a sample was taken by using a special technique to obtain representative samples. The samples from all milling times were analyzed by ...
