2. Sieving: it is used to select the rocks by size
3. Drying in the oven: it is used to remove the water from the granite powder
4. Magnetic separation: it is used to separate the iron from the granite powder

10. The product of the recycling process is a fine grain powder made of granite.
There is different kinds of granite-powders, which are used to multiple purposes. For example buildings, asphalt roads and ceramics.
