The purpose of this study was to create an innovative technology that can efficiently process various limestone wastes with minimal environmental impact and utilize solar energy as the primary energy source. The study used data on geographical coordinates, solar radiation, hours of sunlight, radiation, climate, and lighting conditions of the Republic of Kazakhstan to assess the potential of solar energy and its impact on the radiation balance and climatic conditions of the country. The creation of innovative technology for processing limestone waste to produce a new building material will reduce the cost of stone extraction, minimize waste accumulation, and improve the environmental situation. This is achieved by optimizing the processing using solar energy, which contributes to the environmental sustainability of production and reduces the consumption of fuel and energy resources in concrete production. The study involved both theoretical and practical experiments to optimise the technological processes of limestone waste processing using solar energy. Furthermore, the environmental conditions of the quarries and solar energy resources were analyzed for the application of solar technology.}, title={Development of waste-free technology for processing of all types of limestone waste using solar energy}, type={Article}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/134746/PDF-MASTER/02-06-EPJ-00354-2024-02-Zhaiylkhan%20i%20in.pdf}, keywords={resource analysis, direct radiation, coquina, heliostructures, rock}, }
