Dolomite Mineral

Dolomite Mineral is a sedimentary carbonate rock, consisting mainly of industrial of the mineral dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2]. Dolomite deposits are usually the land-use plan-associated with limestone. Dolomite has a number of uses, the most important of which, by volume, is in construction, where it may substitute for limestone. However, for some uses dolomite is specifically valued for its magnesia (MgO) content, and chemical composition is all-important. Dolomite is used as a soil conditioner in Industrial dolomite is a commercial term foragriculture. The principal uses of industrial dolomite, firstly as a refractory and later as a flux, have been linked with iron and steelmaking since the latter part of the 19th century. Hard burnt dolomite, which is subsequently formed into pellets and fired again to achieve a higher bulk density, are used in the manufacture of dolomite refractory bricks. Another form of calcined dolomite with added iron oxide is used to repair furnace linings.
