Product Description

Dolomite is a naturally occurring mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO₃)₂). It is found in sedimentary rock formations and is known for its distinct crystal structure and chemical properties. It comes in different forms like calcite dolomite, dolomitic limestone, dolostone, and marble. Dolomite is a typical gray, white, pink, or brown color material with a trigonal-rhombohedral crystalline structure. Its physical properties include hardness (3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale), density (2.85 g/cm³), and lustrous appearance. The manufacturing process of dolomite involves different stages, such as extraction, crushing, screening, calcination, grinding, and packaging. It is used in construction aggregates, steel manufacturing, soil conditioning, water treatment, ceramic production, paint fillers, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical formulations, and landscaping. It enhances the properties of concrete, improves soil fertility, provides essential nutrients, increases the hardness of glass, and neutralizes acidic water.
