Dolomite crusher and dolomite grinding mill
Dolomite, which is named after is discoverer-a French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu, is a common sedimentary rock-forming mineral that can be found in massive beds several hundred feet thick. They are found all over the world and are quite common in sedimentary rock sequences. These rocks are called appropriately enough dolomite or dolomite limestone.
Dolomite is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium, (CaMg(CO3)2). In other words, it contains 30.4% of CaO, 21.7% of MgO and 47.9% of CO2. However in nature there is variation in its composition. It is sedimentary origin and is supposed to have been formed due to alteration of Calcium Carbonate sediments or rocks, by sea-water rich in Magnesia.
Dolomite Applications
In dolomite applications that must be use our crusher and grinding mill. Crush Calcite into different particle size, grind it into different fineness, so that you can use it in the following areas:
Dolomite Applications: Building products
Due to its Hardness and Density dolomite is used for Building Stones, Products & Construction.
Dolomite Applications: Steel
Dolomite is chiefly used as refractory, ramming, and fettling material in steel melting shop, and as fluxing material in blast furnace operation in secondary steel and ferromanganese manufacture.
Dolomite Applications: Horticulture
In horticulture, dolomite and dolomite limestone are added to soils and soilless potting mixes to lower their acidity ("sweeten" them). Home and container gardening are common examples of this use.
Dolomite Applications: Source of other minerals and metals
Dolomite is also a good source of magnesium metal. The magnesium metal is extracted from dolomite by the well-known fero-silicon process. It is also an important petroleum reservoir rock, and serves as the host rock for large strata-bound Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) ore deposits of base metals (that is, readily oxidized metals) such as lead, zinc, and copper.
