Striking Facts About Exporting And Industrial Use Of Dolomite!

The sedimentary carbonate rock has high-end applications in our day-to-day life. As per a dolomite mining survey company, the mineral contains an equal ratio of magnesium and calcium which makes it usable for both commercial as well as household activities. Let’s know more about it. 

Exporting Of Dolomite:

• Although the largest exporter of dolomite is Belgium, a lot of it also comes from China. In 2019, the production of dolomite in Belgium was worth $109M, and in China, it was $42.8M approx. The United Arab Emirates and Spain also had equal contributions of $35.1M and $25.7M respectively. The UK’s production ranks $25.7M.  
• The second biggest dolomite mine is in Iran, Nahavend. Hence, the Iranian suppliers and traders exporting dolomite often state the fact that the place provides an excellent opportunity for them. Eager importers of dolomite, however, are China and the Middle East. 
• As a result, Iran carries a high potential to be the largest supplier and exporter of dolomite throughout the world. Suppliers of dolomite in the country can ship it in powder forms and also in various packaging standards. The export of dolomite takes place according to different brightness and specifications. 

Industrial Dolomite:

• Industrial dolomite or as we know it sedimentary carbonate rock mainly consists of the mineral CaMg(CO3)2. The rock consists of only 10-50% of the mineral dolomite and is known as dolomite. Mainly, dolomite is a substitute for pre-existing limestone. This substitution procedure is also known as dolomitization. 
• However, the process often remains incomplete and the rocks known as dolomite, are generally a combination of dolomitic limestone, dolomite as well as limestone. Different amounts of impurities like silica, iron oxides, sulphur as well as alumina carries an integral bearing on the suitability of the mineral for specific uses. 
• Furthermore, this particular example of dolomite has a variety of uses, the most relevant of which, by quantity, is in construction where it acts as an alternative for limestone. However, for certain applications, the content of magnesia (MgO) in dolomite and its chemical composition is very relevant. 
• Since the early years, dolomite has been a very useful ornament stone. Industries often value it for its MgO content and also its chemical composition. Dolomite also acts as an important fluxing, refractory as well as a filler material. So, dolomite is an extremely useful industrial mineral.
