| Abstract | A comprehensive data set consisting of petrophysical, mineralogical, chemical, and scanning electron microscope analysis were obtained for three limestone samples from former Yugoslavia, representing
different textures (tight to porous). These analyses were for a study carried out in support of land-mine detection activities by military engineers of the Canadian Peacekeeping forces.
Results indicate that a strikingly good relationship exists
between pore-size distribution and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis for two samples, with both analysis supporting extremely small pores (6-25 nm) for the tight and low porosity (2-3%) limestone, and large pores (1-60 micro-m) for the
higher porosity (13-15%) sample. The third sample shows a discrepancy between the porosities determined by water immersion (23%) and mercury porosimetry (13%). The pore-size distribution, SEM images, and visual examination suggest that this is due to
large vugular pores (2-4 mm) interconnected by extremely small pores (6-25 nm), resulting in incomplete saturation by mercury under conventional measuring conditions. |
