Abstract

Understanding of the nature and chemistry of valuable minerals in our environment is an asset for maximum exploitation for human need. The physicochemical and geological properties of natural rock samples from Egbeda, Oyo State, Nigeria were studied to categorize the rock samples and to establish their potential applications. The rock samples were characterized using various techniques including XRD, XRF, FTIR, SEM/EDS, TAS plot, BET and water absorption properties. Physicochemical and geological properties confirmed the sample to be granite with low water absorption capacity. The granite is a potential raw material that can be used for exterior walls, interior walls, floor tiles and kitchen walls.
