Classification and Disintegration Characteristics of the Carboniferous Rocks in Guangxi, China by Peng Mo, Junhui Luo, Decai Mi, Zhenchao Chang, Haifeng Huang, Tao Zhang, Guanhua Sun, Yan Li, Ling Zeng, Shihai Wang

“…The test results showed the following: (1) the disintegration residues of the carbonate chert and the carbonaceous argillaceous limestone decrease linearly as the number of wetting-drying cycles increases. (2) The disintegration index of the carbonaceous illite clay mudstone and the carbonaceous illite clay shale decreases exponentially as the number of wetting-drying cycles increases. (3) As the number of wetting-drying cycles increases, the disintegration index curves of the carbonaceous illite clay mudstone and the carbonaceous illite clay shale samples gradually become stable until the disintegration of the samples is completed. (4) The disintegration of carbonaceous rocks is mainly affected by the clay content, followed by the structural form, but it cannot be ignored.…”
