Dolomite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2. The term is also used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock dolostone.
Dolostone (dolomite rock) is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite with a stoichiometric ratio of 50% or greater content of magnesium replacing calcium, often as a result of diagenesis. Limestone that is partially replaced by dolomite is referred to as dolomitic limestone, or in old U.S. geologic literature as magnesian limestone. Dolomite was first described in 1791 as a rock by the French naturalist and geologist, Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750–1801) from exposures in what are now known as the Dolomite Alps of northern Italy.
Application of Dolomite
Dolomite can be used as the transformation of steel when the furnace with fire-resistant lining, slagging agent, cement raw materials, glass flux, ceramic, fertilizer, building and decorative stone, paint, pesticides and pharmaceuticals and other purposes. It can be used for building materials, ceramics, glass and refractory, chemicals and agriculture, environmental protection, energy conservation and other fields.
Dolomite Crusher
Dolomite crusher is the crushing machine that is used to crush dolomite ore into particle or dolomite sand. Usually dolomite sand has types as follows: 6-10 mesh, 10-20 mesh, 20-40 mesh, 40-80 mesh, 80-120 mesh. The complete dolomite crushing plant consists of dolomite crusher, vibrating feeder and vibrating screen. There are several types of stone crushers that can be used as dolomite crusher.
Jaw crusher is the primary crusher, which is used for primary crushing. It is the common dolomite crusher in dolomite mining. The range of final size of products can be 10-300 mm, and the capacity can be up to 100 t/p.
Impact crusher is the secondary crusher. This crushing machine features reasonable structure, high productivity, easy operation and maintenance and safe performance. The most advantage of it is that the final particle is in good, cubic shape and without tensility and cranny.
Cone crusher is the secondary or tertiary dolomite crusher; it is suitable for hard and mid-hard rocks and ores, such as iron ores, copper ores, limestone, quartz, granite, grit stone, etc.
VSI crusher is also called sand making machine, it is the main machine for dolomite sand making. It is applied for the powder process of mineral product including metal and non-metal ore, fireproof materials, bauxite, diamond dust, glass raw materials, architectural materials, artificial sand and all kinds of metal ore materials.
Dolomite Crushing Plant
Dolomite mining is important for industry. Dolomite is kind of carbonate mineral which includes iron dolomite and manganese dolomite. Dolomite is the main mineral component composed of dolomite and dolomite limestone. The dolomite can be used in building materials, porcelain, glass and refractory after dolomite crushing. In chemical industry, agriculture, environmental protection, energy conservation, etc, the dolomite is in a great demand too and so the dolomite crusher is widely applied. The dolomite is mainly used as the flux of Basic Refractory and blast furnace.
