dolomite
Dolomite consists of calcium magnesium carbonate, and its chemical formula is CaMg(CO3)2. This distinctive composition leads to a series of unique physical and chemical properties, making it an essential component in various industries, On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, Dolomite measures at a 3.5 to 4, signifying it’s relatively soft.
APPLICATION
- Paints & coating industry
- Plastic masterbatch and PVC application
- Construction: Dolomite, in its crushed form, is used for producing concrete and cement. Its high hardness makes it a robust material for construction purposes.
- Agriculture: Farmers use dolomite for agricultural pH control. The chemical industry uses the mineral dolomite in making magnesium salts.
- Steel Industry: It serves as a flux for the smelting of iron and steel, helping to remove impurities and improve the quality and strength of the end product.
- Ceramics: In ceramics, dolomite is used as a source of magnesia (MgO) and also in the creation of ceramics and glass.
- Petroleum Industry: Dolomite rocks contain oil and natural gas reserves and serve as reservoir rocks in petroleum extraction.
