- Dolomiteis the name
of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium
magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2 found in crystals.
- Dolomite rock (also
dolostone) is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite.
- It forms white, gray
to pink, commonly curved crystals, although it is usually
massive.
- It has physical
properties similar to those of the mineral calcite, but does not rapidly
dissolve or effervesce (fizz) in dilute hydrochloric acid unless it is
scratched or in powdered form.
- Dolomite occurs in a
different crystal class than the Calcite Group.
- Dolomite is
generally formed from limestone by dolomitisation, a diagenetic process
involving replacement of calcium in the calcite with
magnesium.
- Limestone and
dolomite are mined by opencast methods and sold either in bulk, powder
or slurry form
- Dolomite formed in
relation to organic-rich marine sediments has been termed organogenic
dolomite.
- This type of
dolomite is thought to be directly related to the diagenetic processes
of sulfate reduction, methane oxidation, and methanogenesis.
- Dolomite is used as
an ornamental stone, a concrete aggregate and as a source of magnesium
oxide.
- Dolomite is used to
make magnesia, which has important medicinal applications.
- Dolomite is used for
manufacturing certain types of refractory bricks used in steel making.
- Dolomite is also
used in some cements, as a source of magnesium. Of course Dolomite is
also used as mineral specimens.
- It is also an
important petroleum reservoir rock and a host rock for large
strata-bound base metal (lead, zinc, copper) deposits.
- Significant uses of
mined limestone and dolomite in Pennsylvania include crushed stone for
roads, concrete, and railroads; agricultural lime and grit; the
manufacture of cement; fluxstone and refractory materials for the
steel industry; acid neutralization; raw material for the glass
industry; and mineral fillers and whiting.
- Amongst the
non-metallic minerals production in India, more than 90 percent of the
aggregate value is shared by limestone, magnesite, dolomite, barytes,
kaolin, gypsum, apatite & phosphorite, steatite and fluorite.
- The dimension-stone
market for all rock types is increasingly shifting away from imports of
unprocessed rock blocks towards slabs and finished goods.
- Slate, diabase,
quartzite, and soapstone were quarried in the Piedmont province; slate
was the leading stone I type quarried, in terms of volume and
value
- The bulk of dolomite
in the world is used for aggregates. Though it is not economical,
magnesium can be also extracted from dolomite. In the medical front, it
is used for milk-of-magnesia preparation and there are also claims that
it could be used as a magnesium supplement pills.
