Travertine Marble
Travertine marble is a sedimentary stone classified as a form of limestone with naturally occurring holes and troughs throughout the surface which result in porousness.
Travertine provides a durable surface with a proven history of longevity. Variations in colors and patterns from surface to surface makes each installment unique. Authenticity of travertine instills a sense of pride in ownership.
Museum of Libya, previously known as the Royal Palace during the reign of King Idris, is a perfect example of the architectural beauty of the old buildings of Tripoli which tells the story of one of the most beautiful stones in the art of architecture that has been extracted from Mizda Travertine Quarries.
Travertine marble is commonly used in decorative purposes with its natural beauty, unique patterns and texture, Travertine is a perfect choice in many interior and exterior designs.
Extracted from Mezda Marble Quarries Travertine Marble comes with two major types.
1- The vein cut unfilled.
2- The vein cut filled.
Brak Al-Shati Marble
Brak Al-Shati Libyan marble is a sedimentary limestone marble that is extracted from the quarries of Brak Al-Shati in southern Libya.
Characterized by its beautiful natural color gradients ranging from beige to brown. It is also known for its high hardness and durability.
With its range of color and patterns Brak Beach Libyan marble is suitable for various architectural and decorative applications. It is an excellent choice for enhancing floors, walls, and other surfaces in both interior and exterior projects.
Locally produced Brak Al-Shati marble is one of the most prevalent types of marble in the Libyan market for its beauty and hardness.
As in the case of travertine marble the company’s major production plan for Brak Al-Shati marble is in block form ready for delivery to factories with a consistent developing plan to move towards the slap and tiles production as a next step.
Silica Sand
Silica (SiO2) is the term used to describe a group of minerals composed of oxygen and silicon. Whilst it is the world’s second most abundant mineral, products containing at least 98% SiO2 are needed for industrial use.
High purity Libyan Silica Sand is found in the south of Libya delivering a range of benefits across multiple applications. The company has a strict and consistent production plan for Libyan Silica Sand in the next few month offering high quality with competitive prices.
Iron Oxide
Iron oxide (Fe2O3) powder is used as a pigment in coatings, polymers, glass and bricks. It is also used in cement production, casting and welding fluxes, as an oxidizer in exothermic risers, and as a sinter aid in graphite electrodes.
The company’s studies on the iron oxide in south Libya has proven the high quality existence of iron oxide with a large strategic reserve. The company’s plan is to move to the production as soon as the undergoing exploration plan ends.
Kaolin
Kaolin, also known as china clay is an aluminosilicate mineral derived from the decomposition of feldspar from igneous rocks. The term kaolin derives from the name of the deposit in China where the mineral was first mined – Kao-ling. In ceramics manufacturing, kaolin is used to modify the properties of a ceramic body with the ball clay (plastic clay), primarily to control and adjust the casting rate of the ceramic body.
Kaolin, also has a great number of uses. These include: ceramics, filler, pharmaceutical, absorbent, and many others.
The company has an undergoing exploration plan for the kaolin mineral deposit in the Libyan south, the initial results prove the high quality and reserve for Kaolin in Libya.
Gypsum
Gypsum is a naturally occurring Calcium Sulfate mineral that has been used by humans for various purposes for thousands of years. It is a versatile mineral with a wide range of applications in construction, agriculture, industry, and even art. Calcium Sulfate has three major forms: Dihydrate (Terra Alba), hemi-hydrate (Gypsum Plaster or Stucco), and anhydrous (Anhydrite).
The company has a wide exploration plan for gypsum in Libya between Bir-Elghanam in the west and Benghazi in the east.
Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate is a highly versatile material that makes up over 4% of the earth’s crust. Its most common natural forms are limestone, chalk and marble. High-purity calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is available in ground (GCC) and precipitated (PCC) form. It is used in a wide range of applications, including ceramic glazes, construction, agriculture and as a blast cleaning abrasive. Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is made by hydrating high-calcium quicklime and then reacting the resulting slurry with carbon dioxide. This enables the creation of products with very fine and controlled particle sizes, high surface areas, high oil absorption, and with different powder bulk densities – from ultra-low to super-high. The calcium carbonate is one of the most important projects on the company’s agenda, with a serious exploration plan in the eastern region where the high quality and reserve.
The company has plans to have a calcium carbonate production line to produce different qualities for the local and international market.
Bentonite
Bentonite is a soft aluminium phyllosilicate clay. Made up mainly of montmorillonite, bentonite is valued for its bonding, sealing, absorption and lubrication properties. Natural bentonite is classified by the predominant balancing cation, normally sodium or calcium. All applications of bentonite rely on its reaction with water.
The bonding properties of sodium bentonite occur in the early stage of water absorption, approximating its plastic limit of 50% to 70%. When mixed at low concentration in water, it exhibits a stable thinning behavior. sodium bentonite is used in a range of applications, including: Foundry: as a binder in casting / mould making, and for use in civil engineering, drilling, pelletising. Construction: as a thickening agent in, for example, dry mortar mixes. Considered one of the richest countries in clay mineral, the company is undergoing exploration plans for different clay mineral in the Libyan lands including Bentonite as a priority.
Basalt
Basalt has a long history in construction and architecture as pavers and dimension stone. Basalt was used as stadium seating and street pavers throughout the Roman Empire. Today, basalt is commonly used as crushed aggregate in construction projects. Crushed basalt is used for road base, concrete aggregate, asphalt pavement aggregate, railroad ballast, filter stone in drain fields. But, basalt is also used in basalt fiber manufacturing. Basalt fiber is an environmentally friendly high-tech product. It is widely used in military and civilian fields. Basalt fibers will not react with any of the components of concrete, and have a very high chemical resistance. Compared to other fibers such as S-glass, carbon, or aramids used in concrete, they are also considered to be inexpensive.
Salt
Salt production is one of the oldest chemical practices performed by man. Although salt is produced naturally when seawater evaporates, the process can easily be reproduced to create a higher yield. Some salt is still produced using ancient methods, but new, faster, and less expensive methods have been developed. Depending on the source of the salt and the technique used to create it, the end product will have different flavors and textures. The raw salt is used in some industries and road de-icing. Winter means snow and black ice on roads and footpaths, that causing dangers to the traffic. Many years of experience have shown that the most efficient way to secure traffic safety is sodium chloride (NaCl) de-icing salt, Making roadways safe traffic. On the other hand, edible salt is used in numerous food related industries like bakery, cereals, butter, cheese, and pickles etc.
Aggregates
Crushed aggregates provide needed bulk to concrete mixes to enable them to harden into materials capable of withstanding immense weight and virtually all forces of nature. Valley will offer a wide range of aggregates suitable for construction projects and specialized applications. Our reliable products will be available nationwide through a leading network of quarries and a range of transportation methods.
