Occurrence & Use of Dolomite
Dolomite occurs chiefly in widely extended rock masses as dolomite limestone and marble. Occurrence same as for calcite rocks. The two varieties can only be told apart by tests, the simplest being to see if a drop of cold hydrochloric acid placed on the rock will produce effervescence (if so, rock is calcite; if not, dolomite). Often intimately mixed with calcite. Dolomite as a rock mass is thought to be secondary in origin, having been formed from ordinary limestone by action of solutions containing magnesium. Occurs also a vein mineral, chiefly in the lead and zinc veins that traverse limestone. Found in large rock strata in the dolomite region of southern Tyrol; in crystals from the Binnenthal, Switzerland; Traversella in Piedmont; northern England; Guanajuato, Mexico Joplin; Missouri, etc.
At a building and ornamental stone. For the manufacture of certain cements, For the manufacture of magnesia used in the preparation of refractory linings of the converters in the basic steel process.
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 Refractories and blast furnace. Here you can choose best dolomite crusher machines for dolomite crushing.
There are thousands of materials our machine can grind. The typical materials are cement (raw meal and cement clinker), quartz, feldspar, calcite, gypsum, limestone, dolomite, graphite, fluorite, aedelforsite, phosphate ore, fused calcium-magnesium phosphate, car amide, electrolytic manganese metal, ferromanganese, coal, gangue, slag, zirconium, steatite, granite, orthoclase, marble, barites, ceramics, glass, etc. MTM Medium Speed Trapezium Mill and SCM series S super thin mill are applicable to non-flammable and non-explosive materials with dolomite.
Dolomite grinding mill
Dolomite grinding mill is the machine that is used to make dolomite into powder. In industry dolomite powder is widely used. Usually dolomite powder is 140 meshes, 325 meshes, 600 mesh, 1000 mesh, 1600 mesh. There are several types of dolomite powder machine: ball mill, Raymond mill, trapezium mill, high pressure grinding mill, and ultrafine grinding mill.
Dolomite Mining
In dolomite quarry plant, according to the required finess, we design a complete domolite production line. The standard crushing process includes primary dolomite crusher such as jaw crusher, secondary crusher such as impact crusher, tertiary crusher such as cone crusher or VSI crusher, feeder machine, vibrating screen, and belt conveyor. The dolomite powder production line is consist of grinding mill, hammer crusher, deceleration machine, blower, dustpan elevator, impulse dust cleaner, piping device, cyclone collector device, clsssifier. If you need ultrafine dolomite powder, choose ultrafine grinding mill, and the finished size can up to 0.0005 mm.
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 as primary crusher 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 ton/h.
Impact crusher as secondary crushing equipment. 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, gritstone, etc.
VSI series crusher is also named 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, archtiectural materials, artifical sand and all kinds of metal ore materials.
More Infomation
- Application in metallurgical industry: In the metallurgical industry, dolomites are mainly used as flux, refractories, refining of metal magnesium and magnesium compounds after dolomite mining.
- The usage in building materials industry: Calcined dolomite can be processed to make dolomitic limestone which is of good White, strong adhesion, coagulation power, Fire-resistant, heat insulation. In these stages, dolomite crusher equipments are needed. Therefore the dolomite is suitable for Interior and exterior wall coating. The calcined dolomite can be used in Magnesium chloride cement and concrete curing. After adding other brasque, they can be used for flooring. What’s more, the dolomites can be directly used as building materials. There are many dolomite crushing machines which can help broad dolomite application in dolomite mining or quarrying.
- Application in chemical industry: In chemical industry, the dolomite is mainly used to produce chemicals, such as Magnesium sulfate, Light magnesium carbonate, etc. Dolomite crusher can crush the stone to required fineness which is suitable to production. Apart from all these above, the crushed dolomite powder has been widely applied in agriculture, filler, etc. After dolomite mining and crushing, we can use it to make more products which are often used in various of industries. The dolomite powder is mainly produced form USA, Mexico, UK, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
