PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Dolomite (chemical composition CaMg(CO3)2) is a carbonate rock with high calcium and magnesium content. Mainly composed of dolomite, containing a small amount of calcite, clay minerals, flint, magnesite, and sometimes gypsum, celestite, barite, pyrite and organic matter, etc.

FEATURE OF PRODUCT
  • The crystal form of dolomite is rhombohedron.
  • Pure dolomite is white, because it contains other elements and impurities, sometimes it is gray-green, gray-yellow, pink and other colors, and the glass is shiny.
  • Dolomite does not foam in cold dilute acid, while powder foams slowly.

DOLOMITE USES
Dolomite and limestone are the third largest components in glass raw materials. Dolomite can also reduce glass aging, prevent chemical corrosion caused by the atmosphere or moisture, improve the plasticity of colored glass, and increase the strength of glass.

DOLOMITE USES
In agriculture: used to neutralize the acidity in the soil. Dolomite can also compensate for the loss of magnesium content in the soil and be used as a filler for fertilizers. In livestock and poultry feed, both calcium and magnesium are essential nutrient elements in animals. Adding an appropriate amount of dolomite powder to livestock and poultry feed is very beneficial to promote the growth and development of animals and reduce diseases.
